Does an HIV blood test detect pregnancy?
An HIV blood test can tell if you are pregnant. When doctors get results back from a blood test, though they may be testing for a specific thing other things will get flagged as well. For example, when you take a home-pregnancy test and then go to the doctor's to confirm you are pregnant, often they will run blood tests to determine pregnancy. An HIV blood test will show whether or not you have HIV, but will also show whether or not you are pregnant.No; a HIV blood test won't tell if you are pregnant.

How can you tell if you are HIV negative?
To be sure, test your blood at a clinic. It's possible that a blood test results in a false positive, so you might consider retesting your blood. A blood test usually takes 3 days to perform, so just try to remain calm and keep your mind off of it until you get your results. Clarification note: Any positive result from an initial HIV test should be routinely confirmed with a second type of test that is more sensitive to HIV. This confirmatory test should usually be run by the same laboratory or testing centre where you had you first positive result. You should not do this yourself by just going for a second HIV test - the type of tests are different.

Will HIV show up in a regular blood test?
yo im mister awesome i am not sure what your asking, if you mean can aids be found through a normal blood test then let me just make something clear, aids is a virus that attacks you immune system, once aids takes effect it will be very apperant because you will lose weight and be highly subsetable to infection and disesase, so yes it should be able to be found through a blood test because your white blood cell count should be very low. also HIV the infection that CAUSES the disease known as aids can be found through a blood test, im not sure what you mean by a 'normal blood test', the HIV anti bodies can usally be found 3 months + after your orignal infection of the HIV virus. hope this helps, and remember have safe sex
