Patient's question:
Without any symptoms, I went for a preoperative examination for minimally invasive surgery due to an ovarian cyst. Blood tests revealed that I was HIV positive. I have not engaged in any high-risk behaviors, and both pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy tests showed no signs of this disease. After giving birth, I stayed at home for two years, during which time I did not have any physical check-ups.Doctor's answer:
A positive HIV test indicates that the body has been infected with the HIV virus. It is generally diagnosed through HIV antibody testing. If the result is positive, it proves that the body has produced HIV antibodies. However, the diagnosis is not 100% accurate. The accuracy of general diagnostic tests is about 99%, not reaching 100%, which means there can be false positives. In addition to medication for treating ovarian cysts, patients also need to pay attention to their diet, such as eating light meals and engaging in outdoor activities more often.
