hello, i had protected sex with an hiv positive girl (i just discovered), i had sex with her twice, but she gave me several oral sex, i saw some blood on my penis in one of them, from her mouth i think.. i have no symptoms untill now, i did Elisa test 52 days after 1st time and 20 days after last time and today it´s been 2 months since 1st time (the day i saw the blood) and 1 month after our last time.
Once again, you never had an exposure.
Is it possible to detect false -ve result in western blot test after performing ELISA test,what is the condition of person who has come with +ve ELISA test but -ve in western blot test.How much accurate are WB test as if ELISA test can have false +ve test then how can some some say that WB test are accurate if come with -ve result.
The doctor told me that my ELISA test was positive and so they sent my blood sample for an Antigen Western Blot test which came back negative. The doctor told me that 99,999% the Elisa test was false because of other factors that might affect the blood but he asked me to retest in one week.
Is it possible that I have contacted Hiv?
If so, how?
I used a condom and it didn't break. I also cannot have Hiv from previus relationships because I tested Hiv negative 9 months ago.
i think a 3rd generation elisa test or a 4th generation combo test will be sufficient.....anyway i m going to give samples at three places simultaneously..........i want to get over it as soon as possible.......
after 18 days of exposure i did a hiv test name HIV 1/2 & P24 COMBO TEST(CMIA) and Index value came 0.21 nin reactivate....
After 2 months i again did a ELISA TEST And value came 0.36 s/co...
what the test a saying? am i on any risk? pls help me...
MEIA stands for Microplate Enzymatic Immunoassay. This is a synonym for ELISA, which is a better known name for the test. MEIA measures the presence of antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to HIV infection.
Both the aforementioned tests are valid and in your case, you have taken them at a time frame which can certainly be considered definitive. You don't have HIV.
From Egypt where the population is 90 000 000 , and only 3000 HIV case
Just know that my lab don't use ELIZA technology regarding the HIV tests and for sure not the 4th generation tests ... i am trying with the nurse to know the name of the test she don't know and i also tried with customer services they don't know .
I recently went in for a consultation with a specialist in viral infections at New York Presbyterian. I went in order to resolve a history of conflicting test results. The doctor ordered a blood test and the results were negative for both HSV 1 and HSV 2.
My question is: 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?
I had vagina unprotected sex with a girl from Russia(She told me she is HIV- and she gave me a recent ELISA test of her which proves that she is HIV- ,but I don't trust her very much,because this test in Greece can be done without confirmation of your name so she could sent someone else instead of her to do the test using her name).
Anyway I hope she is telling me the truth and she is not HIV +,but,you know I have to be sure .So.....
I would advice you to do 'Fourth generation ELISA for HIV1/HIV2' in 6week after the exposure.
1) 4th generation ELISA is a DUO TEST (Antibody and Antigen Sandwich Test) .It actually looks for the P24 (protein) Antigen and Antibodies simultaneously.
2) P24 Antigen is almost always present in the body after acquiring the virus till the 4th week after infection and then it disappears .
3)Once the P24 antigen disappears,antibodies starts to show up.

Hiye, this may seem a silly question but is the Elisa test that is used for HIV the same as the
