Can a fbc test show signs of hiv infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: A full blood count, has a variety of different tests that are performed as part of it, but an HIV test is not a standard one. You have to give permission to have an HIV test. However, the lymphocytes may be low, and if a differential count is done, may show low CD4 or cd8 counts, which may suggest the diagnosis.
