Is HIV Infection Possible While Having Normal RBC, WBC And Platelet Values?
I have a question regarding some HIV tests recently. i took a rapid HIV test that came back reactive and had some bloodwork done immediately after two weeks ago which include a full CBC. I have not received thethe results back as of today. I had some other bloodwork done last week and the RBC, WBC, and Platlets are all normal. Could it have been a false positive?
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and I can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I assure you not to worry as I will take care all of your medical concerns.
No we can't say it a false positive based on the normal blood cell counts.
Actually in the start of the infection it is very likely that you get normal blood counts. It is not so unusual.
Hope I answered all of your health concerns . If you have further questions in future, feel free to contact me anytime & I will get back to you in no time. Please give a positive feedback.
Have a wonderful time ahead.
Best Regards!
