DearVanee
i had protected sex and had the test done after 1 month (HIV 1 and 2) by EIA Technique and the test came negative, do i require a test again?
Dear members,
I have donated blood on 4th Oct 2012 and after a month i had received a letter that i have possible exposure to HCV and found positive to screening test(ECI technique).
After this report i consulted to a senior physician and he ask for re-test screening, liver test, Vit D, and ultrasound as he is not sure with test method of blood bank.
My report are as follows:
1) Liver test-----Normal
2) Anti-HCV (CMIA) Screening Test------Negative(0.
I just dont get in my 9 week tests were negative for both so i caught both HSV 1 and 2 after a one time exposure from some jackwagon that said they don't even have it. i HATE liars...
I had possible exposure on 7th April,2008 and first got HIV ELISA test done on 7th July, 2008 which gave result 0.28 and I repeat the test HIV (1&2) ELFA which results 0.24 and p24 Antigen Negative. In that report Lab has mentioned that 0.35 Positive
Again I got tested from another Lab on 2nd September 2008 HIV-1/HIV-2 ANTIBODY/ANTIGEN which result S/CO Value 0.37 by method Chemilumenscent Microparticle Immunoassay (CMIA) HIV P24 Antigen 1.
The PCR HIV test usually returns in 5 to 7 days. We offer the HIV PCR DNA test along with the Standard Elisa HIV Test. The Standard Test usually returns the next day. This testing combo is the best and only way to detect early infection.
PCR is so sensitive, that there is a possibility of false positive results. Indeterminate results are also possible. It is our policy that any positive tests will be repeated on a new blood draw sample at no additional cost to you.
In the Elispot-LTT the Tlymphocytes are stimulated by bacterial or viral antigens. Antigen specific release of IFN gamma is detected by a standardized ELISA colour technique in form of “spots”. The number of spots is resulted in form of a stimulation-index (SI) in comparison with a negative control (reference range: 2 SI (positive) mean a specific response of the Tlymphocytes regarding the different antigens in the Elispot-LTT.
Most IgG tests are ELISA tests. Herpeselect, Capital etc. are all ELISA tests. Just about every test with with a numerical result will be an ELISA test.
Sometimes there can be cross reactivity between HSV1 and HSV2 but more likely it is other protein junk sticking to the testing wells.
Westover Heights will be able to help you get a WB test, you'll need to have blood collected in another state.
my doctor is said to me to give pcr-rt (quantitative) test? what is pcr? I am very worried.
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.
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).
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.
