A member asked:
Might it be that a potassium blood testing also detect hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potassium and HIV: Checking one's potassium level will give you no information on the HIV status of that person. The most common HIV tests look for HIV antibodies in your body, rather than looking for HIV itself. Ask your doctor for more information.
