Hi
Anti body positive means she has either chlamydia and gonorrhea , this can be from Use an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control
Good Luck
Hi..
Antibiody positive is due to formation of antibodies in the body that fights against infection..
So if antibdies are present to a specific antigen [infection causing agent in your case] then it indicates that you have infection..
Can you please confirm from your doctor that she is antibody positive against which infectious agent like Chlamydia or anything else..
I can advise you more appropriately after knowing that..
Also do not worry as she will be fine with treatment..
Regards.
Hi,
No it does not indicate hiv it means that her body is forming antibodies against a type of bacterial infection ( depends on the type of antibodies formed) this is going to need evaluation of the cause bu s gynecologist to give a proper management plan
