A member asked:

If i had hiv or aids after 5 or 6 years wouldn't it have shown in my cbc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not necessarily: Blood work can be relatively normal until later in the course of hiv. If you have any question about past exposure ask to be tested. The cdc recommends that all adults be tested, regardless of perceived risk factors, so just get tested.

Dr Friedlander and another doctor agreed
