Hi. A question about hiv antibody/antigen testing. I have had untreated CLL for 8 years. Would a HIV test result still be accurate with this condition? Thank you. Age 65 Male

Hi..
First of all you need to consult an Oncologist and get evaluated..
The exact status of the CLL and the exposure to HIV Infection is to be checked as there are researches that shows a coincidence that HIV patients are more prone for CLL..
So proper investigations can be done and with advanced technologies you can get tested for HIV too..
Hope this helps.
Regards..
