A member asked:

Iam negative hiv..my question is; can i trust my negative anti hcv test after 22 months post exposure even if i have a low lymphocytes t4 t8 count ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure HCV: Is a typo got hiv, but a low CD4 count points in the direction of repeating the HIV screen. Testing viral load usually followsa + HIV test which detect ab to hiv. Get retested for bothyourpeace of mind and safety.
