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.
This includes a blood count of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin and hematocrit. Routine blood tests also measure blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Doctors may order HIV screening when they think a patient is at risk for HIV infection. However, they may not screen people they believe to be low risk, such as older patients, according to the UNC Chapel Hill School of Medicine.
