-(negative) Western Blot test
If a Western Blot is negative, does that relieve the worry???
Thank you all! All of you are so informed and helpful. You have really helped me through this trying time of stress and anxiety!
If an Elisa test comes back positive, then a WB test is done to verify (or refute) it.
Given that pregnancy is one of the things that CAN cause a false positive on Elisa and her WB came back negative, I'd be inclined to agree with Lizzie Lou that she is not infected.

Well it isn't me! It's my ex who swears I gave her HIV! She is pregnant and she told me her doctor called her and told her she was positive! However my last teat was in March and I was negative! So through this forum I was informed that sometimes pregnant test false positive on the ELISA, so she took the WB and it was negative!
