Firstly, we need to clear something up.
Aids is not a virus. You do not become
infected with aids. You become infected
with hiv, which causes the syndrome of
aids after some years. Aids is the
condition which a person develops when hiv
has caused their immune system to go below
a certain level.
Ok, so, to answer your question, only a
specific hiv test, such as elisa can
confirm hiv status. A normal blood test
does not.

Only if you give your Dr. Your sexual
history to alert him to it. But not
anything off the tests you've taken will.

Normal Blood Tests Cannot Reveal the Truth Posted: 04-25-06 21:41pm
Normal blood tests cannot reveal the
presence of hiv in the blood, as they do
not check for the antibodies in the
blood.
However, a low immunity of the body could
reflect in the blood tests in some other
forms, which could be wrogly diagonised by
doctors unless they know the persons
history
