Hiv Multiple Indicators
Posted: 12-01-07 10:58am

Hi There,
I'm very interested to know for diagnosing HIV is there only one indicator in the blood?
There is something standard as HIV test in a routin blood test, which I know.
However, is it possible that some one who is HIV+ be completely OK on other tests of blood and urine?
Someone whose urin analysis shows negative bacteria, yeast, T.vaginalis, mucus cristals, protein, sugar, blood, Blirubin, urobilinogen, nitrit, keton.
Also has negative HBsAg in blood and all hormons readings are within the accepatable range (triiodothyronin [TS-RIA], tetraiodothyronin [T4-RIA], Resin T3 uptake [RT3up], T.S.H. [IRMA]). The differential counts are:
neutrophil 44
lymphocyte 56
monocyte 0
Eosinophil 0
Can such a person be a HIV positive? The guy hasn't had a HIV test just wanted to know if it's necessary regarding the readings above.
Thanks in advance,
Humphrey

HIV tests test specifically for HIV antibodies in the blood. The only way to know if you have HIV antibodies is to get this specific test.
