 Hello I'm so sorry to hear about your grandson. Yes they can tell after death if someone had HIV from blood work. The only way to know your HIV status is to be tested. Your grandson may never have been tested or was and didn't get into care. But the only way to know if you have HIV is to ask for testing it is not something automatically done. Peace be with you, Shannon | ||||||||
