However, the testing center at my hospital could not give me an appointment for those 4 weeks for ELISA testing, after which I asked my senior if he could write orders for me so that I could get it tested from a private lab.(We don't have ready kits in our country). So I was told that it was of no use then as I did not have a baseline.
I started freeking out, being in Africa and all with the epidemic and all, and two weeks after i went to the local clinic and got tested, negative. After about 6 - 7 weeks i got tested again with the ELISA DUO test and got a false positive, positive on the first negative on the confirmatory. What are my chances of having the Virus?, im getting tested in 6 weeks.
a test after 1 week is not accurate..a test at 6-8 weeks shows a good indication of your status, a test at 3 months is conclusive..what was ur risk?
I felt no pain at all around the rectum, the sex lasted around 2-4 minutes, and though we DID use protection, the HIV status of this individual was unknown. I went in for an HIV Elisa 3rd Gen. test at almost 5 weeks as my nerves were getting the best of me. I got the results back a few days later that said Non-Reacvite.
I started to feel more confident that I was HIV negative, but I kept checking my symptoms and reading online and I again got nervous.
so i did CMIA 4the generation test after 1 year 2 months of exposure.. got value 0.14.. I asked the to do ELISA .. but they did CMIA.. i dont know why..
I do have a question
1. Does this test(CMIA 4th Generation) will detect all kinds of HIV types (ie including in African types as well) ....?
2. I do have floaters in my eyes .. is it becoz of HIV?
At 29 days post possible exposure I had an HIV DNA by PCR test, ELISA antibody test and testing for other STDs done. The PCR, ELISA antibody test and all STD tests except for herpes were all negative. In your expert opinion is a negative PCR and ELISA antibody test conclusive at 29 days? Concerning the herpes I had this well before this incident as my girlfriend told me she had it and I had been diagnosed with this a couple of years ago.
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.
Hi i Just wanted to know how accurate is ELISA third generation tests is,
my last sex was at 04/11/2010 i did the first test on 22/1/2011 the result wasELISA : HIV1&HIV2 NEGATIVE (0.15) i started to get worried of the number so i did a second test on 15/2/2011 just to make sure that i completed 3 monthes and the rsult came ELISA : HIV1&HIV2 NEGATIVE (0.33) i freeked out why that number is keeping rising !!
0 test method is examined HSV2 IGG ECLIA, I mean to diagnose wrapping glans phlogistic at that time, I took anti-inflammatory drugs water back (foreskin frenum long three tip pointed rash, my impression is not a bubble, can squeeze broken, will damage) I also use the antiphlogistic ointment with potion daub, because I was broke, daub drugs over a period of time later, the wound callus, in September or so I should also is to have a relapse, coated ok, I got the last October that prostitutes, wear
