could a full 12 ounce glass of wine (10% alcohol) the night before the test cause false negatives. That is, could the alcohol reduce the antibody count? As I had not expected a blood test I didn't consciously decide not to have a drink and I just don't recall whether I did or not.
The results of the test were as follows:
The full name of the test given is: Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1/2 IgG & IgM AntiBODY w/ reflex to Type.
1- HSV Type 1/2 Combined Ab, IgG by ELISA ARUP 50286.
BY That time my Hbsag load by ELISA method is 22.67. At present my load is 20.15. Can i get negative sir and can you please guide me by what time i get negative.
Hi
about a month ago i had a tear in my vagina and it was painful, i also had itchy rash around in my inner thighs and buttocks area which use to come and go duing my periods. when i visited my gyno he wanted me to do HSV 1&2 elisa igm and igg test. the igm test was positive for 2.14, igg was negative. my doctor didnt say i have herpes , he said i had a viral infection and priscribed acylovir.
In theory, IgM testing is positive soon after a new infection and later becomes negative, suggesting you have been infected for at least several months, maybe for years. However, the IgM test is inherently unreliable.
Follow up with the dermatologist. Depending on what tests are available in your part of the country, you should have a type-specific blood test to distinguish HSV1 from HSV2; or in a future outbreak, the sores can be tested for the virus itself.
i went for test and this my results,can so one tell me what exactly it means and if its good or bad

like ANTI HCV (ELISA) ,ANTI HBcAG IGM and ANTI HBcAG IGM (ELISA)....and all kinds of other blood test EXCEPT HIV test....all the other tests came negative......my Hepatitis got cured...after a month...but after getting cured ...now I have dry cough for almost 2-3 weeks now and lots of chest pain and fatiuge.....CAN ALL THIS BE THE SYMPTOMS OF HIV?....AS I NEVER UNDERGONE ANY HIV ELISA TEST...WAT ARE THE CHANCE OF BEING HIV INFECTED??
if your test is third generation ELISA OR EIA which detects all hiv subtypes,then it is conclusive at or after 12 weeks. third generation elisa test not ony detects Ig G but also IgM which is the first antibody produced in response to antigen(hiv virus). after 6 weeks of infection more than 99% will test positive and at or after 12 weeks a third generation test would definintely exclude infection.
