It is not possible for the ELISA test to have missed HIV infection 5 times. The ELISA tests are over 99% accurate.<\/p>\n<p>The change in your CBC could be due to the Chlamydia, the flu or another underlying infection.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on HIV testing please follow this <a href=\"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/257\">link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Doctor!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m a female. I had unprotected sex at the beginning of January with a man. After 2 weeks I developed the worst flu a human being can imagine. I had nausea, headache, stiff neck, fatigue. This lasted for 2 months. I tested positive for Chlamydia and got doxycycline treatment.<\/p>\n<p>I was tested at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 months with 4th generation tests (antigen p24) here in Italy all were negative.<\/p>\n<p>Is it possible, that I got some strange viral strain, which the ELISA would not pick up? What is very scary to me is my Complete Blood Count (CBC). My lymphocytes fall from 30 % to 15%!!! Is this showing I have it?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you so much for the answer, I appreciate it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,22,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-hiv-testing","category-hiv-transmission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2076"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2076\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24497,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2076\/revisions\/24497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
