Basic HIV Blood Test Question

[bama07]

Im in the military and have a basic HIV blood test coming up. I know the military steroid test policy. I was just concerned with if the test would show any indication of use if I was on oral winstrol . I dont know if they could see something abnormal and investigate further.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

I got tested for HIV back in 2003 they check for the virus in the blood and CD4 count, so i really think you are fine concerning your oral steroids . Usually a high red blood cell count points out to steroid usage, HIV test does not have that

Generally speaking HIV tests won't include any sorts of blood counts.. If you are truly only doing an HIV test.. it is either ELISA, Western blot or RT-PCR based.. and none of those would show anything other than whether or not virus is present.

I watch my doctor here do an HIV test. Its 30 seconds and shows nothing else, you are positive or negative! I would not worry. John
