elisa test lupus

I did a hiv test result elisa after two year? i recently test negative . And i have lupus . My had sex unprotect with a escort and About three later i had what i believe were hiv symptoms(sores in the mouth, night sweats , painful joints/ muscles, sore throat, discoloration in the mouth).and now still, My question said : i am afraid i don’t know this lupus symptoms or hiv symptoms can you help me ?

p18 absent p24 equivocal p31 equivocal p51 absent p55 equivocal p65 present gp120 present gp160 present gp40 absent gp41 equivocal So of course I am freaking out a little but it seems like ant-biotics make me feel better so I am wondering if there was a chance of a cross-reaction on the Elisa test? and after 9 months would the WB have been positive if it was positive? Why so many "Equivocal" bands?

t over and I want to try and find out exactly what is going on with me. I still think I will get the ANA test for lupus. If that test comes back fine, I'm just going to assume my first test was due to lab error. I will be sure to keep everyone posted as to my progress. I want to thank ageshore and lifeinhell for your support. You really helped more than you know. Hopefully my story will keep others from going through all the mental anguish I went through.

My first thoughts were Lupus too... however your symptoms could also fit in with lyme too. The ELISA isn't a good indication of lyme. It has WAY too many false Negatives. I think I tested NEG twice on the ELISA. Do you remember a tick bite? Rashes? You may consider seeing a Lyme Literate Medical Dr. (LLMD) and getting tested by IGENEX which is the gold standard for lyme infections. Good luck and keep us posted.

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.

I have done a couple of 4th generetion ELISA test wich came back negative after 3 months from posibble exposure. Am i safe? How can I be sure when these kind of reports pops upp? I am of Jewish descent. Please Help.

So you see she also had an elevated sed rate and the outcome was lupus not lyme. She also responded well to steroids which is typical in lupus but not lyme. She would have gotten worse if it were lyme.

I picked up a copy of the test results and the Elisa 1/2 showed negative and then they ran a Reflex WB. I spoke to a specialist and I was told that depending on the lab that runs the tests...sometimes they will run a WB automatically. Either way my WB came back negative, not indeterminate. Now on the Elisa tests if it were to have been possitive, it would have stated possitive correct? Or would it have shown just numbers?

Being that the test was done about 15 days after contact, I fear that it may have triggered the Elisa test but the western blot did not catch anything? Being a male, not having lupus or any of those triggers, it is making me extremely anxious. I understand that the contact Was limited as there was no penetration or oral,only penis tip to nipples and hand to penis.... Would a test again help, even though I am only now one month in the window?

if my last exposure with unpretected sex was on December 7th and took an Elisa test on January 19th, with a negative result....what do you think is the percentage of the test being positive in another 6 weeks? thank you for all of your help.

at 6 week 95% of people that are infected test positive, at 8 week 98-99% would test positive at 12 week=3 months the test is conclusive, so you are negative.

t get better when the infection cleared my PCP did a lyme test. The ANA game back positive and ELISA positive for lyme. Started doxycycline last Monday for 28 days. Then the nurse called and said my Western Blot was negative but to keep going with the antibiotics anyway. I called the rheumatologist on July 2nd and he couldnt see me but did review my labs and said if I didn't feel better to go by this week and see him. Can having Lupus cause false positives on the lyme tests?

So you're saying these two websites I posted from are bogus?? thbody.com and aidsmap.com???

Hiye, this may seem a silly question but is the Elisa test that is used for HIV the same as the Elisa test used for rheumatoid arthritis?.. Is the Elisa just a standard antibody test that is not disease specific and if reactive then a specific test is used?..

my doctor is said to me to give pcr-rt (quantitative) test? what is pcr? I am very worried.

i have got an elisa test done for hiv 3 years after exposure. my test confirmed that i was negative. do i need to get retested or can i be assured that i am hiv negative. and yeah thanks for answering my previous questions, it helped me a great deal. you all are doing a great job , thumbs up....

There is a lot of new tests but elisa is just the type of test, there are 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th generation of elisas, and there continue to be a lot of research for new tests, the newest teste tend to be rapid test accurate as elsia tests, there has been also improvement also in the NAAT tests, and some labs are trying to come up with a new 5th generation rapid test (PCR+Antibody+p24) but is not ready yet.

how accurate is a negative elisa test 3 weeks post risky exposure for a woman (unprotected sex) with a hiv positive man? my doctor says its 100% accurate, is this true....

ve 30.50.60.70.80.86.92.115 elisa test. it necessary to obtain the test to be negative anymore, all the days of 6 months?

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).
