No online testing providers usually don't do the WB testing for you.
Find a provider or ask your regular provider if they use quest labs. If so we can give you the quest labs code to request the test with all your provider has to do is follow the quest labs for the HSV (not HIV) and it's easy they talk to the UofW and take care of the blood.
You can order the western blot through our office. It requires becoming a patient of the clinic with a 10 minute phone visit.
The quotations below are from the Mayo Clinic website, discussing Lyme testing:
1 -- ELISA can sometimes give a false positive result:
"Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test: The test used most often to detect Lyme disease, ELISA detects antibodies to B. burgdorferi. But because it can sometimes provide false-positive results, it's not used as the sole basis for diagnosis.
I received oral sex by a prostitute, I'm married I'm gonna order online but don't know which one is better, I wanna take gonorrhea and chlamidya, how long should I wait for a window period on this too?
Dr. EWH,
My girlfriend and I tested for hiv and my girlfriend got the result back today. The result says "negative" and in "reference range" column states "nonreactive". It says that test was "hiv 1/2 ABS /W RFLX CONFIRMATION". It also says hiv-1/hiv-2 ABS ELISA. Does that mean ELISA was done first and then confirmed with something else? Or does it mean that it was confirmed by another test because the result of ELISA wasn't good?
I heard that the during the ELISA test, the laboratory assistant will divided the sample into several parts? Isn't it? If so is that mean it actually test each of the parts? For example if they divided it into 5 parts, that will be make five tests and get five result, if one of them is positive then they will re-test to confirm. They do this in order to avoid the tests-mistake such as reagents mistakes which is sometime cause the false negative. Am I right?
The duo test IS an ELISA, combined with a test for HIV p24 antigen. If a duo test is positive at 7 weeks, it is because HIV antibody is present. Therefore, an ELISA antibody test will always be positive in that circumstance. If your duo test is positive, there is no point to repeating an ELISA; you have HIV and that's all there is to it. If so, you need to immediately make an appointment with a doctor or clinic for proper medical care.
You posted a thread in the HIV livng with forum saying you already have been diagnosed HIV+. What are you doing here again?
Why not just go get the regular antibody test, they are accurate and the rapid ones give instant results?
