ok, that's what i figured. so based on what you said, i can imagine that test is not used for screening at blood banks.
I had an HSG test done a week ago today, my doctor originally said both of my tubes are blocked, but while looking at the picture(x-rays) the very first picture shows the dye clearly going through the right Fallopian tube and exiting out and the left blocked. Then after more pressure and more dye injected the second picture shows both as being blocked. Has anyone else had this issue and if so what did your doctor say?
I understand that PCR - RNA HIV test or NAAT is still relatively new and blood banks use it for testing blood donors/organs. Surly that would imply that NAAT test 'much better' compared to antibody or p24 alone? which are 'supposedly' - gold standard in 2013 for routine testing, even so that BASHH guidelines recommend it as a 'first line' for diagnostic purposes. Of course I understand NAAT is expensive and very time consuming and NHS simply can't afford it.
First you need to see a doctor about the twitching and rule out an organic reason for that. More than likely it is just stress, but if your stress is such that it's causing twitching, your doctor can help you.
Secondly, if you've had the infected tooth taken care of, then I assume you have stopped freaking out about dying. That stress should be gone. If you haven't taken care of it, there is nothing I can say here in public.

The reason I suggested donating blood is because he has a definitive negative result and is not accepting it. By donating blood, he will be able to put this nervous energy towards a positive purpose.
Clinics and blood banks are usually just trying to find out if someone has hepatitis or not, and then that person is referred to a specialist.
Test for HBV DNA, and “e” Ag/Ab are more expensive and only used to determine status of a “CHRONIC” HBV infection and for monitoring the progression of the disease.
So a clinic wouldn’t want to run an expensive test while someone may still be in the “ACUTE” stage of the infection and have a 90 to 95% chance of clearing the virus on their own.
Symptoms are not HIV related. Yes blood banks must test for HIV and if they told you the results then you can be satisfied with that at 180 days. Most places will not tell you results but will get in touch with you if it is positive.
Blood banks policy. You can't give blood if you've paid for sex for a year. You can't give blood if you are gay. Had a tattoo within the year. The blood banks have hard core policies to protected the blood supply.
My wife had a pacemaker installed last April to control Atrail Fibrillation. She also had an abration process to make her pacemaker dependent. She has progressively had extreme fatigue to the point that she is not able to walk very far without resting, nor exercise at all. She has had banks of tests including blood, adrenal, nuclear stress test, etc., and all were in the "normal" range.
