Common Questions and Answers about How long does the elisa test take
elisa-test
I did read most of the posts here and I decided to do the DNA and ELISA test based on the information that is given in the forum, that is one test looks for antibodies and the other test looks for the virus itself, I did these tests becuase I can't wait for 3 months, the stress is too much to handle and can't focus on my work. I needed some early indicator so I can make decisions. I never read about a guy that is getting married issue, here soon! i missed his post.
well does it test for the most common antigens then? I read that the western blot can show up indeterminate for some non-infected individuals so is the ELISA more specific than the western blot or what, coz they do the elisa first I think and only a western blot to confirm if the elisa reacts.
Also how many copies of the virus can they detect?
can someone please answer that!!!!
Your test is conclusive, and you can move on from this event. ANY test on the market is conclusive at 90 days post-event, at the latest.
because the patient before me is hiv +and the nurse touched the the sharp needle carelessly and she didnt change the glove.. and I heard that needle stick injuries take long time to get positive results ... maybe out to 1 year or more....and am very scared because am working in saudi arabia and the government in saudi arabia test any non saudi people every year and if they found that somebody has hiv they will kick him out.....
I'm curious as to how the igg herpes blood test works. Is there ratings on how low or high antibody levels are or is it just they are present or they're not?
m bisexual the condom broke and he took a HIV test and was ELISA and he came out NEGATIVE 26 days after the exposure i took the same test and came out NEGATIVE however since then i been with anxiety it's been 5 months since there and in the same time i wanna take it but iam scared.
Anyway back to my original question how accurate its the ELISA TEST?? should i have to be worry or what?
s test but it came back negative. my questions is, how accurate is the test? ive heard you can ge false negatives. all my symptoms (peripheral neuropathy and fatigue) seem to jive with lyme's and my dog contracted it before i came down with it (dog eventually died). is it worth seeking out a specialist? do long-term antibiotics help? any advice would be greatly appreciated!
That can happen. However, the ELISA test (IgG) is more sensitive than WB. If ELISA is negative, positive WB is rare. For that reason, WB is not normally used to test people with negative IgG tests for HSV-2. Its primary purpose is to confirm a positive ELISA, especially if that gave borderline results.
So the direct answers to your questions are:
1) As far as known, there is no such thing as a false positive WB for HSV-2. A positive WB always reliably indicates the person has HSV-2.
