Could Elevated ESR Level In Blood Be Due To Possible HIV Infection?
Hi Doctor, i had a general health checkup last week and just got my blood test reports. I have a slightly high ESR of 25, (in Oct. 2009, my ESR was 21). All other test results (including for HIV) are ok. I am 31 years old, male, and feel quite healthy.
I am slightly worried about possible HIV infection as i had unprotected sex on 1 occasion with my new girlfriend - that was 2 weeks before my test (as mentioned above, results are negative but i know it's too soon to tell).
Do you think my high ESR level could be related to a possible HIV infection?
Thank you.
