Can you tell me if someone has hiv does it make their hemoglobin level low?

In general, yes.: HIV infection without AIDS does not cause anemia, but most people with AIDS are anemic. Also, drugs used to treat HIV can cause anemia. Epoetin is a drug which can improve the anemia caused by HIV treatment.
