Blood Tests
Nov 19, 2001

Will any signs of HIV infection show up in a run-of -the mill blood test?

Response from Mr. Kull

See the response to "Diagnosing opportunistic diseases with blood tests" (http://www.thebody.com/Forums/AIDS/SafeSex/Archive/Testing/Q9431.qna) for information on your question.

Do not rely on CBCs, blood donation, or other alternatives to diagnose HIV infection. The antibody tests are your best bet.
