5609181 tn?1375332372 There are supposed to be two bottles one that is high and one that is low. It test the accuracy of the meter. When you do test, do you wipe off the alcohol so your finger is dry? If alcohol is still there it gives you a false reading. You never use the first drop of blood either. You wipe off the first and use the second.
Avatar f tn You didn't need to test as you had no risk. Protected sex is not a risk for HIV and rubbing a penis on the vagina is also not a risk. Air inactivates the virus and a condom during protected sex provides a barrier. Your doctor is telling you that it's psychological. Believe your doctor and see a psychologist.
Avatar m tn Due to above scenario, I got worry n go for blood test at nearby LAB little more than 2 months after the sexual encounter. Just got the result HIV negative but got result for HSV-1 igg = 1.59 n HSV-2 igg = 1.01. The doctor told me nothing to worry about HSV-2 after I confirm that I got cold sores on my lips since I was kid. The doctor claims since I have HSV-1 the result on HSV-2 sure affected. There no visible lesion on my genital area until now.
Avatar f tn Wednesday will mark my 28th day/4 week post possible exposure and already have Friday morning set aside to go in and submit blood samples for HIV RNA PCR test. However, I've also read that the ideal time to come is for an RNA test is 9-11 days post exposure. The clinic I'm going to does not offer a DNA by PCR test and besides that I've read on the forums that it isn't approved as a diagnostic tool anyway.
Avatar n tn I would tell your brother to abstain from alcohol, pain meds (tylenol), supplements, etc for one month and re-test blood including another Hepatitis panal. If liver enzymes are still elevated make appointment with a liver specialist (Hepatologist).
Avatar f tn I ended up taking the test, along with the blood draw. I hope to God they at least use the latest technology for that. Anyone else ever experience this? How accurate is chembio test? I'm at 13 weeks past exposure.
Avatar m tn some info from a testing lab Much has been written of late concerning the laboratory test EtG, a biomarker for alcohol use. FirstLab has received numerous inquiries regarding its accuracy and what cut off levels are appropriate. More specifically, what cutoff level would be an absolute indication of alcohol consumption vs. incidental exposure. FirstLab wishes to offer the following guidance to our clients.
Avatar n tn t expect to get tested). Can alcohol mess up the results of the Elisa test? Can alcohol lower the antibody count so that the results are a false negative? I do not drink on an ongoing basis, but occasionally have a glass of wine with dinner. I may have had a full glass of wine the night before the test. Just don't recall.
Avatar m tn I have done lot of test by this time period and the last test was done after 181 days with DUO test 4th generation. I do have a white tongue when i notice my tongue. It goes if i eat something but comes back again specially in the morning. After six months i had sex with my partner and recently she had fever and swollen gland on her neck for last two days. I was ok with my test but now i feel if i had hurt her. i have PCR test on my third week and eighth week.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had a blood test and found out the gender of their baby? Trying to figure out the accuracy on this.
Avatar f tn There is no reason to doubt the accuracy of your test results. Test results always overrule symptoms, exposure history, or anything else, as long as testing is done sufficiently long after exposure. With all modern antibody tests, including Unigold, 6 weeks almost always is long enough, and for sure 12 weeks always is. Therefore, your results prove you didn't catch HIV, no matter what symptoms you have had.
Avatar f tn I plan on going into planned parenthood tomorrow to try and get a blood test done for better accuracy n better peace of mind. Can anyone plz tell me how long it usually takes for the blood test results to come back???
Avatar f tn I would test your milk because some of us process alcohol at different rates then others which means that you could be clean faster or slower then they suggest.
Avatar f tn I hope a negative blood test on my end will ease my mind. I seriously been preparing for the worst.
Avatar n tn This is a very low blood alcohol level where the average individual appears normal.
Avatar n tn HI! I was married for 15 years to a man with herpes. We recently divorced and I am in an (almost) intimate relationship with someone. I have not told him anything about the herpes because I don't want to alarm him if there is no need. My dilemma... I don't know if I have herpes. I had a blood test performed at my doctor's office and the test results came back negative for both herpes type 1 and 2. They used the Elisa test for IgG and Im.
Avatar n tn I just recently took a PCR blood test. I wanted to know the accuracy for it. I was told it can decifer between HSV 1 and HSV 2. I am yet to get the results, but i wanted to know if i should truly belive them when i get them back or if i should try a different test like herpes select that checks for igG. Thank you and hope to hear from the dr.
Avatar m tn recent results: HBsAg + HBeAg - anti-HBe + HBV DNA 6800 IU/ml gentype B precore mutation ALT 32 (normal range 8 ~ 69) All other liver function in normal range. I believe that I was anti-HBe positive when I was 20 yr old. Liver function was always normal in the past. HBV DNA has never been tested. I think the doctor overlook this since my LFT was normal. I will have a liver biopsy soon. How do you think the severity of my status? I am a 42 yr old man. I didn't and don't drink alcohol.
