Avatar m tn Okay, how many weeks do you mean are 3 moths? Why does hardly everybody tell something with 12 weeks??? This is a deadly sickness!
Avatar f tn I have never experienced any of the outbreaks( cold sores,burning) and my doctor told me to not worry since the test was neither negative or positive. I am very scared because i am in a relationship and my current boyfriend wants to wait to be married before having sex, i don't want to pass anything on to him. I really want to know if its a yes or no on the Herpes. I have been worried sick and i need so answers.Thanks you for your help.
Avatar f tn You have a very low score which can mean you are having a false positive. Do what your doctor recommends. The pcr test, better known as the viral load test, looks for actual virus, not just the antibodies. You may have been exposed and you may have cleared the virus without treatment; you may have a false positive, or you be infected. Don't worry ahead of time and actually with the new treatments, there is a cure for almost everyone. My best to you.
Avatar n tn What if the confirmatory test was required - what does that really mean and would the confirmatory test be considered 100% accurate if was negative? Do you think we should verify this with the doctor or the negative nonreactive result as specified on the report is 100% accurate? Thank you very much.
Avatar n tn Is it possible to get a false negative while showing symptoms uptill 6 months? Or if somebody is positive, and showing symptoms will they test positive or negative?? and what is the deffrent between *elisa* and *axcym*, *hiv duo*, *axsym*,elecsys-ecl?? which of this test is realiable please??
Avatar n tn In other words, while false positives may be considered relatively rare, a true infection in a person such as yourself is much rarer. And as Lizzie indicated, a positive result on an ELISA does not mean anything if the Western Blot is negative. The negative WB means that you do not have antibodies against HIV proteins in your blood, proving that you are not infected.
Avatar f tn how accurate is a negative elisa test 3 weeks post risky exposure for a woman (unprotected sex) with a hiv positive man? my doctor says its 100% accurate, is this true....
Avatar f tn Is it more probable that I had a false negative rapid or a false positive lab based ELISA? I always thought the lab based tests were more accurate? Is the rapid oraquick just as able to detect HIV 2 antibodies as the lab based one? Still waiting for HIV 2 western blot results. Also, wanted to know if when the lab based antibody 1/2 test is reactive, do they do a HIV 2 antibody test alone before doing a HIV 2 WB or do they go straight to WB like they do for HIV 1?

Avatar f tn Yes it is an ELISA and no it is not a reactive result. The cut off is 1.0 on an ELISA test.
Avatar m tn I had my ELISA test a week ago and it turned out to be positive. I am so shocked when I knew it and yet I couldnt help anything about it. I am so down but I can still manage myself to do my ADL's (Activites of Daily Living). I submitted myself for a Western Blot and PCR and the result will be availble in a week or two. How high is the probability that I can have a postive on the latter tests? I need help. Thanks.

Avatar n tn Negative...conclusive. You don't have HIV.
