would they test

My wife has gone into hospital with a sore chest, I'm hoping she has just pulled her muscles. She said they were doing an xray and bloodworks. Would they look for HIV in these bloodworks?

This isn't a therapy session but if you tell her I'm sure most of the guilt will be gone.Just a suggestion.

I want more than anything else to believe you, I'm as tired of it as you are of my posts. I just have such dreadful luck I think it will be me first. And I understand anxiety can manifest itself in weird ways, but she hasn't got anxiety as she doesn't know about it. I'm sick of having sore groin and under arms, sick of having a sore back, I'm sick of the whole stupid thing, if anybody wants some free advice then I would say be faithful as guilt is horrible

No one is being rude.We are trying to help you.Obsessive posting on an HIV forum will not help you.We have all told you NO RISK but you think otherwise or because of the guilt you just can't believe your assessment.The only way you can move on is to acknowlegde that you never had a risk.HIV is very hard to contract.

You aren't accepting the advice that you are receiving here- that's why it isn't productive. You can't infect someone when you didn't put yourself at risk. You're probably dealing with guilt issues that are clouding things up for you, which is why we recommended professional mental help.

Well that is why I'm reading a HIV forum yes, it's not productive at all intact, I was just asking a question. Why are half of you du rude, I'm not here coz there is nothing on tv, I'm here because the woman I love is ill and I'm scared it's down to me. I wanted to know if her blood tests would be a bit off, maybe a low white blood cell count or something, because she said they were clear

It's not worth saying as I know the answer. Surely they would have detected something in the blood though?

No they would not do an HIV test. What was your risk?

Because the results of her bloodwork were fine, if I had infected her 18 months ago as I thought surely her blood would be bad? So I can forget all about this once and for all
