Let's Diagnose Them, Lab 4: HIV Test

by: Nicole H. Maller

In this chapter, based on blood samples recently analyzed, one of the four patients has a very low white blood cell (WBC) count. This is alarming since it might indicate the patient is suffering from a viral infection. Since all of the patients requested an STD test on their medical records, the students will specifically check for antibodies produced against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). For more information on how to implement the activities discussed here, please see the Teacher Edition.
