When someone gets HIV, the body's immune system makes antibodies to try to fight the infection. Most HIV tests available today test for HIV antibodies. If HIV antibodies are present, it means that a person is infected with HIV. One type of HIV test detects the virus itself. This is called an RNA test. RNA testing is more expensive and much less common than antibody tests.
How do blood tests detect HIV? Do they look for HIV when they're doing routing blood tests? I had a routine test a few weeks ago and they said that things like my red blood cell count and white blood cell count are normal - now I'm just trying to figure out if they would have told me if they had tested for HIV. Answer. HIV can be tested by blood testing.
