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.
Man i live here i know there is huge difference in health diagnostic equipment things here are of poor quality standard. For example i was tested with intec hiv 1&2 test kit and this kit is not even approved in china where it is manufactured.
Greetings,
I have ordered an HIV rapid test kit.
I understand these home rapid test kits has the HIV antigen embedded in the capture pad, which then will react if an HIV antibody was found in the blood sample.
When I pricked my finger, I coudn't get enough blood in so I kind of touched the capture/sample pad a little bit. I'm afraid of HIV exposure after learning that the pad contains the HIV antigen.
I went to Singapore medical institution and was done 6 times HIV antibody test by Alere Determine HIV 1/2 with figer tip blood. The test time respectively were 4, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 20 weeks after that exposure. And all the result were negative.
So far I am not out of the HIV fear. Because the following 3 points:
1st, I am a very healthy person. But the suspected symptoms appeared after the exposure.
2nd, The Singapore medical institution only provide the rapid test.
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.
On the day 15th, I did a pcr dna test (Roche) in Singapore and the outcome not detected (negetive). After that I did Elisa antibody test (generation of test not known but the lab claim that Singapore always use most recent test) on week 4, 6 and 8 and all returned negetive. I understand under CDC and FDA, 12 weeks is conclusive but still feel anxious everyday. Each day for me is like a year. Just hope somebody or expert can provide me to what extend can I rely on my test result?
Thank u for the reply Mike but what about the period from exposure for the conclusive results by that Test?
antibody non-reactive, was there elisa no.4?
Hi Teak and all seniors,

i tested negative by using a home test kit 14 weeks after possible exposure, bought from this webpage http://www.****.com.my/,
