A member asked:

Can you still detect a normal blood count if you have hiv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HIV: Which blood count are you referring to. Generally the standard complete blood count may remain normal for years after being infected but the special test looking at the lymphocyte profile may become abnormal fairly rapidly (within 2+ weeks).
