HIV Elisa Ab Ag
Hello, I would like an opinion of you guys on how conclusive the elisa ab ag hiv1/2 test is at 6 weeks mark? It just came back negative and Im still afraid to believe it, given the fact that I experienced weird symptoms such as swollen nodes. I did not have a fever or anything like that so I dont see any reason why they would be enlarged ...I know that symptoms dont and often dont mean anything, but I would really like to hear your opinion as I find it easier to believe that there was some mistake than to admit that I might be fine.
Thanks for reading :]

Yeah thanks, thats what I read too ...was just afraid that I might have missed the window where antigen would be present and also right before antibodies would show so that was my concern.
Antigen part of the test is valid until about 28 days then the antibody test takes over and 6 weeks is fine. If you feel like you have to then take a 3 month test.
Would you say that I need to retest at 3 months too? I read that these ab ag tests should be fine after 28 days, but I think I might get tested again just to be extra sure.
During an intercourse there was a brief moment ( not more than 30s ] where he was inside of me without a condom.
