A member asked:
Does cbc reveal if a person is infected with hiv or in a risk of hiv because of the blood count?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: A CBC will not show whether or not a person is infected with hiv. The HIV antibody or the HIV viral load test will do this. In advanced aids the CBC will show a low lymphocyte count but this is non-specific.
