Question

i wonder...im o+, if i got hiv...would what would be blood type be....and its hiv revealed on a regular blood test?

Answer 1

your bone marrow makes your blood.  

HIV only disrupts your ability to heal.  it doesn't change your genetic makeup.

Answer 2

your blood type can't change. your blood type is determined by the type of antigens your body naturally creates. this won't change EVER. hiv can be detected on some blood test but not all. the easiest and most desecrate way to get checked is to donate blood cuz they check for hiv. if you have it they will send you a letter telling you that you have it and if you don't then you just helped save a life. either way its a win win situation.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

Your blood type does not change. There is a special blood test that is run to find if you are HIV positive. It can not be performed without you signed permission.  

Answer 5

No. Blood type is permanent and never changes, not even with a transfusion.  It is your genetic code.

Answer 6

Your HIV test status has absolutely no bearing on your blood type.  I am only aware of one instance in which a person's blood type was changed, and this was after the individual received both an organ and a bone marrow transplant from the same donor. So while it is possible, it is extremely rare, and will not happen merely because you contract a virus.

Most HIV tests (regularly done when you get an STD test panel) test for antibodies produced by the body against the virus. The FDA requires all blood banks to perform a different kind of test (called a NAT test) on all donations that detects the presence of the virus itself.  While the window period between exposure and detection is smaller for the NAT test than for the antibody test, there is still a period in which someone who is HIV positive can infect someone else but test positive. For that reason, please do NOT get tested by donating blood or plasma. Your local health department can give you a list of places that will do an HIV test both for free and anonymously, and you can get a result without putting another person at risk. Get tested at six months and again at a year after exposure to verify that you are negative, but please do it responsibly to avoid any chance of spreading the virus to someone else.

Good luck.

Answer 7

your blood type never changes unless you were to drain all of your blood then replace it with another type. doesn't matter what virus or disease you may develop, the blood type remains!

Answer 8

Your blood type stays the same.

When they do a blood test for HIV they're looking for the antibodies your immune system creates NOT the actual virus itself.
