Fourth generation ELISA for HIV1/HIV2
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.
I would advice you to do 'Fourth generation ELISA for HIV1/HIV2' in 6week after the exposure.

Thanks Paris420 for your response. Question though, Yours was the only answer that I received. Does that mean everyone agrees with your answer?

Are these results conclusive for being negative for HIV or do I need to get another ELISA again on 90 days post? The odds I've figured for myself are about 1/20,000,000,000 which makes me feel pretty good (using 3% incidence which is probably very high in the first place). I've also read that the difference between 82 and 90 days is irrelevant. However, it's just one of those things where a very slight possibility still seems uncomfortable.
I have 23 days PCR DNA HIV-1 test negative also 54 days ELISA sandwich test negative. But yesterday, I started stomach pain and loose motions at 64 day. I am very tensed. I can not stop thinking about hiv. Is diarrhea and sever headache in one side of brain a symptom for HIV?
I had some fever 100 deg for 6 hours and went down to 99 99.5 after sometime.
How can I check whether I have swollen lymphnodes in my waist join? I feel slight pain in there. It is causing worry.
i already pass the 3 month period to get tested for HIV
my question is , "HIV AG\AB test" after the three months it will be searching for the AB as well as it search for the AG if it found it,
so what is the method used to search for the AB in the (HIV AG\AB) test , 2- is is better than the method in Elisa AB test after 3 months , 3- if i did h="hiv AG\AB" test after three months " is it conclusive as if i did HIV Elisa AB test"
thanks in advance
