When a person contracts HIV, their body releases certain antibodies to fight that infection. As such, if those antibodies are found in a person, then that individual has HIV. These antibodies can be detected through a simple examination of oral fluids or a blood sample. If you are found to have these antibodies, then you are seropositive.
