hi sir my elisa test after 5months report is negative and my reoprts description is this
SEROLOGY
Test Description Value Observed Biological Reference Interval Accreditation
HIV 1 & 2 0.60 Index Value
Non Reactive: Index Value = 1.0
Interpretation
Non Reactive result implies that no Anti HIV -1 or Anti HIV -2 antibodies have been detected in the sample by this method.
Moreover, development of 4th generation duo test made it possible to collect your conclusive report after 4 weeks of exposure
Get yourself tested as soon as possible.Do ELISA for HIV1/2 .ELISA for HIV1/2 has window period of 3 months so your status will be conclusive at this stage.
Testing is the only solution.So get tested and free your mind from all the hesitation.If I was at your place I would have tested at 3 months mark.
Always use condom properly and never share needles.
The most common type of HCV antibody test is the enzyme immunoassay (EIA and Elisa) – (manufacturers–Abbott, Bio-Rad, Innogenetics, Ortho). In populations with a high risk for acquiring HCV, the accuracy of these tests is up to about 99%. The HCV antibody tests are very sensitive so rarely will they be false-negative unless the person is in the window period.
my doctor is said to me to give pcr-rt (quantitative) test? what is pcr? I am very worried.
There is a lot of new tests but elisa is just the type of test, there are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation of elisas, and there continue to be a lot of research for new tests, the newest teste tend to be rapid test accurate as elsia tests, there has been also improvement also in the NAAT tests, and some labs are trying to come up with a new 5th generation rapid test (PCR+Antibody+p24) but is not ready yet.
My husband had positive elisa test with 3.45 value in august 2016 for hepatitis c. Then he got treatment aND it showed 0.85 value in January 2017. He got checked his hepatitis C by elisa test again two days back. It showed a value of 85.0. He's active n doing job. No cough or any other symptoms. He did it as just a routine checkup. Please guide if elisa test can be 85.0 ?? What should we do next? Much worried! !
Dear Doc (and forum readers),
About a week or so ago I needed to get a medical check for work. When I got my results back, I was shocked to be told that the Elisa test came back as HIV reactive at 1.52. They tested it twice. I really have no idea what that number stands for, though.
I don't have sex. No girlfriend. And I don't sleep with street workers. As far as I can remember, I have not come into contact with blood (except when killing mosquitoes).
hello, i had protected sex with an hiv positive girl (i just discovered), i had sex with her twice, but she gave me several oral sex, i saw some blood on my penis in one of them, from her mouth i think.. i have no symptoms untill now, i did Elisa test 52 days after 1st time and 20 days after last time and today it´s been 2 months since 1st time (the day i saw the blood) and 1 month after our last time.
