Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable.
Stay hydrated: drink water before your visit. Keep regular meds: take your medicines unless your doctor says otherwise. Skip hard workouts right before: rest for a few hours before the draw. Share recent health changes: tell the team if you were sick, had a vaccine, or changed HIV meds. Follow any instructions from your doctor or the center and bring prior results if you have them.
HIV treatment monitoring, risk for infections when the immune system is weak, lymphocyte problems, effects of certain medicines on the immune system, and follow up after serious infections. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your numbers with your history and symptoms before recommending next steps.
