A member asked:

Had 4 hiv tst in 2yrs, all neg results ive had neutopenia since brth having recurrent infections could hiv tst giv false neg results b/c im neutopenic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: I wish they were all this easy to answer. Some folks simply run low neutrophils, often for life, and if they're not super-low or prone to disappear for a few days every few weeks, it's almost never a problem.
