A member asked:

Has anyone here done an hiv test on urine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HIV: You do not routinely check urine for hiv. This organism can be measured by pcr for HIV rna, by indirect testing for antibodies to HIV or by the presence of p24 antigen, all in the blood, or more specifically the serum.
