I ran across this phrase at work typing ER reports, HIV-positive. So exactly what does it mean and does anybody know of some informative sites regarding this?

Human immunodeficiency virus...the virus that leads to AIDS
|
|

It means that person has the virus that causes AIDS, google it.

It means one of two things.
The person was diagnosed HIV positive, because they have the symptoms associated with AIDS and belong to a high risk demographic (IV drug user, homosexual, etc) -OR- The person was determined to be HIV positive because HIV anti-bodies were found in their blood. |
