Does Guy really need to wait for a confirmation test? What's keeping him from getting another ELISA done immediately. Possibly at another clinic.
Does anyone here have experience with the ELISA/ACT testing for delayed food allergies? This is a specific type of testing for delayed (food and other) allergies that supposedly is more accurate, with fewer false positives and greater sensitivity, but the vast majority of the reviews and articles about it online are by the person/company that does the testing.
I've had blood tests over the years for over 80 foods and have delayed allergies (aka intolerances) to dozens of foods.
you were never at risk, if your doctor thinks you were in some risk the test to do ..... is an elisa a 4th generation test wich looks for antibodies and also for p24 antigen.
Would a 12 week Elisa and a 16 week UniGold Rapid test still be considered conclusive if you found out a month later that your latest WBC came up low during a routine physical? A follow-up test showed that my WBC returned to normal a few weeks later. I see on the internet that immunocompromised people can take longer to seroconvert, but I am not sure if I would be in that category. I never used drugs and I'm not on chemo. Nor do I have diabetes or any other diagnosed issue.
t really worry about much and had never been tested for HIV. So, I got tested at 5 weeks and 10 weeks both with a Uni-Gold Rapid test. The results were negative....I was ready to move on. Then I started feeling a pain beneath my left rib cage...I thought swollen spleen.....I've felt this pain for about 2 yrs now off and on...It's not a major pain just a throbbing or shooting pain.

can anyone please explain me the result.
After a high risk exposure I had a primary herpes outbreak. Apparently I had it in my system and had been dormant. Along with my herpes outbreak I also experienced a month or two of numbness and tingling in hands and feet. Followed by joint discomfort. Wrists, ankles and even toes. Now this week I'm feeling discomfort in both armpits. I am 5 1/2 months out, still have urge to **** and been getting hemorroids.
I was tested for HIV 1&2 neg at 98 days with ELISA test and at 137 days.
There is a lab called "Elisa/ACT" that can do allergy testing with blood only. They can check for allergies to foods, food additives & colorings, molds, environmental toxins, toxic metals, herbs, medications, pet dander, etc. However, your insurance may or may not cover the testing. My insurance did pay for the testing. The lab has a website if you are interested... you can find them via google.
Are these results conclusive for being negative for HIV or do I need to get another ELISA again on 90 days post? The odds I've figured for myself are about 1/20,000,000,000 which makes me feel pretty good (using 3% incidence which is probably very high in the first place). I've also read that the difference between 82 and 90 days is irrelevant. However, it's just one of those things where a very slight possibility still seems uncomfortable.
Now I am really worried. I have tested for HIV test. My elisa test is postive and western blot is negative.I was tested 7 months after that sex episode. I have developed so much anxiety that i keep getting tested. My elisa keeps on coming positive and western blot is negative. last test was done after 1 year. 1. do you think I have tested too late that western blot is not able to detect antibodies.? I know that elisa test has some false positive results....2.
i already pass the 3 month period to get tested for HIV
my question is , "HIV AG\AB test" after the three months it will be searching for the AB as well as it search for the AG if it found it,
so what is the method used to search for the AB in the (HIV AG\AB) test , 2- is is better than the method in Elisa AB test after 3 months , 3- if i did h="hiv AG\AB" test after three months " is it conclusive as if i did HIV Elisa AB test"
thanks in advance
No matte what generation for test method , elisa generation 2 ? 3 or 4 ? Someone said 3 month is conclusive but some said 6 month & 12 month . Which is the correct timetable for conclusive test result ? Last test was 177 days by elisa negative but don't know what generation , was this result conclusive ?
A negative Western blot test means the ELISA test was a false positive test. The Western blot test can also be unclear, in which case more testing is done.
Negative tests do not rule out HIV infection. There is a period of time (called the "window period") between HIV infection and the appearance of anti-HIV antibodies that can be measured. This period is 3 months from exposure. However, negative WB at 45 days is certainly very encouraging.
On this month 3rd I met the doctor he told to do hiv test.
today I got the report
SEROLOGY:
Test: HIV 1 & 2
Method: Card(Kit used Tri Dot)
Result: Negative
Method 2: ELISA(kit used MICROLISA)
Value cut off absorbance Result
0.002 0.278 Negative
This was the result and i told about the rashes he told it may allergy.
Is this result ok please tell me...
Hi, as we do not maintain a directory of doctors in this forum we may not be able to help you. Ask for the MELISA test, which is the only scientifically-proven test which can objectively diagnose titanium allergy and measure its severity. MELISA test measures a so-called Type-IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction. And according to studies done, the MELISA Test is reproducible, sensitive, specific, and reliable for detecting metal sensitivity in metal-sensitive patients.
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).
