community), many studies have been conducted on people with AIDS in various forms. In some cases, studies focus on simply defining AIDS and its onset, and in other studies, AIDS
and auxiliary diseases are studied. The important issue in all of these studies has been, of course, just how AIDS is diagnosed.
For the most part, simple blood tests are used, but readings on hemoglobin and other factors end up telling the true story - as AIDS is an immunity deficient disease,
blood cell count, hemoglobin and CD4s are essential for measurement. In this paper, well use three studies as examples of how AIDS
was diagnosed (along with auxiliary diseases. These are just samples to demonstrate to the student how such a paper could be constructed. How AIDS is diagnosed by laboratory testing
One study researched HIV patients presenting late with an AIDS-defining illness, noting that these particular patients may have "different symptoms and survival chances
than patients who had an early HIV diagnosis (Poznansky, et al, 1995, 56-59). They also pointed out that actual AIDS symptoms could be delayed among people who test HIV-positive early,
rather than late (Poznansky et al, 1995). To determine if this was the case, researchers compared 97 newly diagnosed HIV patients (labeled
group B) with 339 HIV patients who had complications up to 120 months after an HIV diagnosis (and this was labeled group A) (Poznansky et al, 1995). All patients were
tested with an HIV test, nor did they differ in terms of hematological variables that were determined at the time of the AIDS-defining illness (Poznansky et al, 1995). But in
