Primary immuno-: deficiency diseases are a group of more than 250 rare, chronic disorders in which part of the body's immune system is missing or functions improperly. I don't think we know specifically for each one how HIV antibody production and measurement would be affected. In general, it may take longer for antibodies to be produced and become measurable. I would suggest repeat measurements at 6/12 months.
