Can a normal routine blood test checkup pick up hiv? without having an actually hiv test?


Can a normal routine blood test checkup pick up hiv? without having an actually hiv test?

No. To be tested for HIV requires a consent form ( you have to sign a form to agree to have the test done). Without a consent from you ( permission) then, a normal routine blood check up, would not check for HIV. If you are concerned, then, you should find the nearest community health center, where they test for HIV and, it is completely anonymous . If you decide to be tested through your Doc's office, it is considered " Confidential ", which means that other health care professionals will have access to your results. I hope that this helped some.

no

good question. i dont know. ask your dr

Wow! I can tell your really scare but no.

NO! An HIV antibody test is a special test done with a special medium to detect the antibodies to HIV.
A blood test that is run for a Complete Blood Count CBC would not test for HIV.

No...need to order the actual test.

If it's wet, it's infectious.

oops, I didn't get what you were asking, I thought you were asking if you could get infected. No, a normal blood test wouldn't show red flags for HIV.

If you are scared that you might have HIV, you should have an HIV test done. Don't be content that "you would have known" because of a regular and basic blood test.

Not a routine blood test. It could be detected if they were checking for it, but unless your doctor told you specifically he wanted to run and HIV/AIDS test along with it, then they won't even be looking for it.

No, the HIV test is a special request and has to be done separately.

no

No, the blood tests that are done as part of a routine physical (CBC, Chem panel, lipids, etc.) will not confirm a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS. They may very well show some abnormalities in your blood cell counts and show abnormalities in your electrolyte or glucose levels, more specific tests that look for HIV antibodies are needed.

*And to the twat who gave me a thumbs down, I'm not sure why you think my answer is wrong but look it up...its Med School 101. Or you can call up my medical school and tell them they were wrong: New York University School of Medicine

no

No, No No. You must ask to be checked for HIV specifically.
