Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / AIDS / March 2008Reliability of HIV test called into question again
Looks like the HIV antibody test isn't as accurate as HIV boffins would have you believe. <http://www.aidsmap.com/en/news/C30FBBD2-588A-441D-9E88-83F59309887F.asp>: ----- Begin Quote ----- Spanish doctors have reported a case of hidden, or occult HIV infection in the March 1st edition of Clinical Infectious Diseases. The case concerned a patient who was hospitalised with multiple opportunistic infections and a CD4 cell count of only 4 cells/mm3. HIV antibody tests were repeatedly negative, although tests showed that the patient had an HIV viral load of over 100,000 cppies/ml. ----- End Quote -----  Signature<http://www.hiv-poz.co.uk/> Moible: +447939991519 4,805 days and counting...
