Common Questions and Answers about Elisa test cost

Now I know PCR is not for screening and diagnosing due to high cost , technical problems, and high rate of false positives. I took this test since it was too early for an ELISA test alone. But if this test has high sensibility (no false negative) and a good specificity (some false positive) my negative result after 15 days should be quite good or not ?
Can i take this results as conclusive ?
02) and a (LabCorp ELISA) high positive HSV-1 (28.1) I tried to get a Western Blot test. My local Quest does not offer that option, but they referred me to LabCorp with the following test number: 138487
I proceeded to get a request from my GP and blood samples were taken. I am now waiting for results.
Experts: Could you please confirm that this is actually the Western Blot?
It is also our policy that every person who requests a HIV PCR test also have a standard HIV Elisa test at the same time at no additional cost to you.
The standard AIDS test is an Elisa test, which tests for the antibodies your body makes for the AIDS virus. This test is the standard test used by hospitals and blood banks in America and the world. Positive tests are confirmed with a second test called the Western blot, which also analyzes the body's antibody response.
I plan to test after 30 days in Munich/Germany. Do you think the rapid test (!) will be about 90% reliable as your guess for the normal ELISA test?
My calculation with a negative result would be: 1:10,000 chance of infection from infected partner, 1:10 she is infected (that is worst case scenario, I know), 1:10 reliability of test: is 1/1,000.000. That would be negligible and I really could move on. Is my calculation correct?
I have a question regarding testing:
I got my results back today from LabCorp. It was the Trinity Captia ELISA IGG test for both 1 & 2. Both results were negative at 11.2 weeks post exposure. I also had this test done at 8.5 weeks, negative for both.
What is everyone's view of this test and it's accuracy and it's likelihood to change at 16 weeks? Thanks for your help.

Dear sir my hbsag is postive but pcr is nagative
My elisa hbsag value is 3334.9 how to nagative my hbsag test.
First of all, you were not exposed to risk. If your condom remain intact throughout, you are OK. Just forget about oral,,,, receiving oral by men, has nothing to do with HIV,, Period.
In such situation, you do not need any kind of testing. Remember ! PCR test for HIV viral load is not a primary diagnosis tool and it is ordered for monitoring of people already contracted the virus. High rate of "false positive" is the key disadvantage of the test in addition to high cost.
I phoned up this HIV testing place today and they offer an antibody test at 4 weeks which is 96% accurate they said. Is this true now that you dont have to wait 3 months then for an antibody test?
Dec 18th had PROTECTED vaginal sex, but uUNPROTECTED oral sex. I had a ELISA blood test done on DEC 28th and a Rapid Advance. Both were negative.
I had another rapid advance done on Jan 16th. also negative.
I am literally making myself crazy over this. I looked into the DNA by PCR test. The said if you get a negative test result 28 days Post exposure it is CONFERMED NEGATIVE.. They also run a ELISA antibody at the same time. If both come back negative, they say your negative.
