Chronic Fatigue and XMRV Blood Test

11/19/2009

Question:

I read that women with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome often have the retrovirus XMRV in their blood? What blood test diagnoses XMRV? My doctor said he does not offer it. Where can I get this test? And would a CBC or MET test show if a woman has a retrovirus?
