i did the elissa test after 10 years of the sexual relationship and it was negative. so is this result accurate after 10 years or i have to do another test (not the Elissa) ???
Confirmatory testing is only done when the ELISA is positive. But a positive ELISA with negative confirmatory test is absolute proof against HIV, no different than if the ELISA were positive.
There were no conflicting test results in your case. If you doubt this, ask the provider who ordered the test. Time to move on. That's all for this thread.
I had a risk exposure with a unknon status CSW 3 months ago. After the 3 months I had done a HIV DUO Quick (p24 & abc) test in a private lab. The test result came out negetive. . HIV DUO Quick (p24 abc) test is a acqurate test at 3 months? But I did not done HIV 1&2 antibody ELISA Test. Need HIV 1&2 Anitbody (Elisa) to conclusive? Still I have skin rash, dry cough, white tongue and night sweat.
So the test I had mentioned is conclusive at 4 months? Both tests I had were non reactive.
I just had tests performed by life labs, Apparantly there is one covered by OHIP, however the test done for HSV2 is not. I had to pay to have that one done. I asked if I will recieve results for both and she assured me that because the doctor requested testing for both HSV1 and HSV2 that I would. But I guess this isn't the test I wanted done? To my understanding an IGG type specific test is an immunoblot test.
They just had their blood work done, and the guy who is supposed to be the bio dad (his sperm will be used to impregnate me) got an indeterminate result on the Elisa test. From all Ive read here, most people get indeterminates on the Western Blot, not the Elisa. Weird? Anyway, his Western Blot was negative, as was his viral load test. Based on his symptoms...fatigue lasting approx 4 weeks, and his location, his drs have decided to treat him for Lyme disease, and do more testing...
I have done HIV screen test- Elisa at central Lab. I would like to know the following details
It was HIV I and II screening test and result is non reactive.and HIV test Value is 0.388
The cut-off value is given as 0.533.
I am not able to understand the cut off value and test value Please explain
I had oral sex with condom 12 weeks before and mutual masturbation before 7 weeks.
I was able to get both the herpeselect ELISA and Immunoblot tests done through direct to consumer testing sites. I took the ELISA twice and the Immunublot once (all hsv 1 and 2 type specific IGG tests), all of which came back negative. I didn't realize the Immunoblot was available until after already taking the ELISA. From the herpeselect site the Immunoblot has much better hsv1 detection, which is primarily what I am concerned with.
You have done 4th gen Elisa test, that's conclusive after 4 weeks. Only if you would have a immuundisorder (where you already would be in hospital for), end stage Cancer or PEP would could cause theoratical delay.(theoratically, because even then it's rare to cause delay) 6 month is for 2nd generation testing and 3 month for 3rd generation testing. Many govnerments haven't updated their guidelines because of their structure and caution positions.
There is no test for genital warts, you can only be diagnosed once you have symptoms i.e. visible warts.
For high risk HPV you need to go to your Dr and schedule a pap, specifically ask for a HPV test to be done.
Your symptoms do not sound HPV related.
2) The clinic told me the test I had done (the one I am going mark as the conclusive test) was a Unigold 3rd Generation, 5th generation elisa - would this be an advanced enough test for this to be negative? It is also worth of mention I had the Labcorp DNA PCR test done 20 days outside of exposure. I went the 12 weeks, because Teak and others on this board recommend it.

Hiye, this may seem a silly question but is the Elisa test that is used for HIV the same as the
