Avatar m tn Thank's for your answer. I have an unprotected sex with a girl in Eritrea on 29 Nov 2012. I already underwent an ELFA test on February 25 2013 (88 days after exposure) and the result is "Non Reactive", also an imunochromatograf test on May 9, ELISA test on 11 May, and also it coming "Non Reactive". But there is still a lot symptoms appear on my body, like skin rashes, swollen lymph nodes, fatigue etc. What is the diference between ELISA and ELFA?
Avatar f tn I guess I need one more to meet the three month window period. However, I am not sure if twelve weeks or thirteen weeks would be considered conclusive. three months can be interpreted as either. I will be 36 weeks pregnant at the twelve week mark and would like to go ahead and do the test. The longer I wait the more chance I have of going into labor without a conclusive result. My doctor doesn't seem to know about the other types of testing available.
Avatar f tn I had an Elisa test after almost 3 months (without a couple of days because I didn't remembered the date exactly when I had a possible risky intercourse). It came negative. Should I test again after 6 months?
Avatar m tn Is an 11 week elisa test conclusive or do I have to wait until the 6 month mark.?
Avatar n tn Did u do a standard ELISA test or a Duo test? The doctor says that a duo test after 4 weeks give a correct result in over 98% of case. It's correct doctor Hunter?
Avatar m tn What test would that lab do to test me for HIV.. I know its the ELISA test but its it more advanced or do they use the rapid as well, and if it were poz then do a Western Blot test.. I was just Wondering.
Avatar m tn even a 2nd generation test also conclusive at 3 month right?
Avatar m tn i want to now about window period. some doctor said window period is 6 months and some doctor said 3 months.
Avatar m tn How accurate is the test result ...coz im really biting nails here, is there a window period after sexual intercorz that u shud get tested?
Avatar m tn docs say that window period of 4th generation elisa test is 3 monthys.but on the net iv read that some ppl my get until 6 months plz help m rely worriedand confused .i tested -ve after 100 days.wats my hiv status .
Avatar m tn Can a person who has had repeated high risk exposures and is willing to wait the appropriate time on the window period have complete confidence in the elisa even if it is first generation? Thank you.
Avatar n tn should the patient in the window period-22 days from sex act- with negative Elisa test carried on the 20 day-should he take any medicine as precaution?
Avatar f tn When is hiv test consider 100 acourate , I did test after unprotected sex , Elisa after 30days ,75days , hiv1&2 ,ab,ag after 4month is that enough or should I go for test again ?
Avatar m tn the most common HIV test is the ELISA HIV Antibody test,which has a window period of 12 weeks, but you can get a solid result from 8 weeks onward, if it is available, I would suggest a DUO test at 4-6 weeks mark...
Avatar m tn Could the slightly longer window period of the WB over the ELISA be why the 3 month window period remains despite shorter Ab detection times in ELISAs? After all they don't diagnose from ELISA alone.
Avatar n tn I got tested in December 20th=negative elisa, January 2nd=negative elisa, January 27th=negative elisa, and finally I got tested February 7th=negative PCR DNA & Negative Elisa Combo. Can I move on? should I get tested again now been almost 9 months since? I cannot get that fear out of my head. I have a white tongue kinda hairy, which stresses me out even more!
Avatar m tn Hi forum, I had an ELISA antibody test done at 60 and 82 days after an exposure. Both negative. Can i consider the 82 days negative as a conclusive result and move on?
Avatar m tn The WB was unnecessary since you tested negative on the rapid test. A WB should only be used to confirm a positive result. You don't have HIV.
Avatar m tn Thanks Joggen, just one last question: Is the Chemiluminscence HIV test a standard and a modern HIV test, the reason being all these forums usually talk about the Elisa tests and other rapid tests.
