Terrified, I got myself tested using HIV ELISA antibody test after 60 days of exposure, which turned out to be negative. On the 83rd day post exposure, I got another HIV ELISA antibody test done ( test report said that the test detects both HIV I and HIV II antibodies), which turned out be negative as well.
I got tested using postal blood test service provided by a company in the UK. Blood sampling kit for venous blood sample was sent by the company. Venous blood was taken by a qualified phlebotomist in a hospital and I then sent it to an accredited private medical laboratory in London in the envelope provided by the company.
I was informed about the results by the company (over phone, via email, via secure login on their website and also by post).
Thank u for the reply Mike but what about the period from exposure for the conclusive results by that Test?
Hi Teak and all seniors,
kindly please answer my simple question, a million thanks to u all..
i tested negative by using a home test kit 14 weeks after possible exposure, bought from this webpage http://www.****.com.my/,

Thanks Thanks..
line at T area. hardly visible. (Home Test). facts is that ACON Rapid test kit is not approved in USA. Heard about it..
2month after Results are Test Value: 0.022 ; Cut off Value: 0.300 ; Test Result: Negative
My few Questions:
1) What result I need to consider as a final result.
2) Why this ACON test kit showed me a very very faint line.
3) Do u have any info regardin this ACON test kit are they approved by FDA etc.
Here is my story 6 months back(in sep 2010) i had sex with a prostitute but unfortunately my condom got ruptured and i got tested 3 months post exposure and now 6 months post exposure and test results are negative(test was performed using 3rd generation elisa kit) and all my symptoms are muscle pains.still i feel these muscle pains especially at the lowe part of my body (both thighs and calf's).
Here are my test results
3 months test:0.32(i.e negative)
6 months test:0.50(i.
Absolutely there is a need to confirm both of these values. I would suggest the western blot. You can obtain a test kit from the University of Washington and have your health care provider draw and send the blood or my clinic can arrange testing for you if you become a phone patient of ours.
There is about a 40% chance that the HSV 2 could be a false positive.
The Herpes Simplex IgG test is performed using an ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) test kit manufactured by Euroimmun Diagnostics (Germany). This ELISA test provides a quantitative in vitro assay for human antibodies of the IgG class against HSV 1/2 (group specific) viruses in serum or plasma.
m 100% clear after my 5 months exposure, as you remember 1 week ago I red the kit wrongly after 3 hours of the test ( it showed a faint line in the T area), but today I did another test it did come as follow:
The C line was: strong colure
The T line was: No colure at all but their was a small colure dot Instead of Strong/faint colure line !!!
The nurse was surprise because she said if there is something it should be as a line but not small dot.
I am a 29 year old female, my possible exposure was over 18 months ago, i recently tested myself using a home self testing kit called EZ Trust Rapid HIV Test Kit (manufacturer is CS Innovations Singapore, product commonly sold by Labpro and Nexus Laboratories). I live in Sydney Australia so i do not have access to the FDA approved Home Access.
Positive for HSV-2, negative for others ( HIV, HSV1, Hepatitis, Syphilis, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea ). The herpes test kit used was HerpeSelect ELISA for HSV-1 and HSV-2. Specifically, the HerpeSelect 1 ELISA result was 0.35 and the HerpeSelect 2 ELISA result was 8.79
I repeated the tests in September 2009. A different provider who also used HerpeSelect ELISA. Same results as the testing in May - postive for HSV-2, negative for all others.
Just did the test for me so quick and he gave me the kit when the C line showed dark red, and he told me it is negative I put the kit in pocket and then I took the test kit to my car, the kit was wet because of the blood and to dry it I put it under the sun in the care ( it is very sunny in my country) after 1 hour I looked at the kit again and it did show a faint line in the T .
