Raynaud's phenomenon and antibody testing Aug 16, 2001 I know this isn't the forum for asking testing questions but I thought maybe an MD would have more info on this. I was told a few years ago that I have Raynauds phenomenon(my hands and feeet turn blue when I'm cold and red when hot). I was cheked for lupus and was negative. my question is would raynauds effect antibody formation for hiv? Would the 6 month window still hold true? Please answer I had my 6 month Elisa test (anonymous) and it was negative. Do I need to test further? Thanks. |

 I am not aware of any reports linking Raynaud's with antibody to HIV. The usual standards for interpreting HIV test results should apply. If you tested negative at 6 months you are not infected to a high degree of certainty. ATP | |||||||||
