A member asked:
Since hiv damages t-cells & white blood cells could that produce an abnormality in the cbc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It will tend to lower the absolute lymphocyte count during the acute and the advanced stages. This is a poor screening test. If you're concerned about hiv, get tested specifically now.
