you did not have a risk by oral sex..
if u have a question you need to start a new thread not bring up an old dead thread..
4 months back I had one unpotected blow job . I was very much fine till I read " unprotected blowjob can transmit HIV " in one of the web forums .
Since I read that ... I am going throuh lot of mental and physical stress. Head aches , tunny nose , muscle pain in legs , sore throat , weight loss instead of good appetite , pain n neck
These are the sympotms I have from past 7 months ...
I an ver afraid of going for tests. Plz help me .
In my case I tested positive with ELISA and automatically they send the test to Wb to confirm. If you get POSITIVE elisa they will confirm it with Wb, and yes, there is false positive, and you can search and find there are many factors that effect ELISA test.
I also did PCR DNA and Quick test to confirm. These guys here know a lot and they help me a lot to go through it, I really appreciate it.
About false negative, I really don't know.
You can do PCR DNA after 28 days (Not FDA approved), this test looks for the virus itself, then you can do antibodies after 6 weeks and 12 weeks.
no risk ??! the condom broke , why do u say i wasnt at risk ?
my last test was 46 days since my last exposure with the CSW using the elisa test :
HIV 1 & 2 : both negative .
you got tested on the 20th, how did it come out, i assume negative
a false negative will only occur if you test within the window period, before 3 months, what was your risk?
thank u for yr answer , however i still need to ask u , becos if it can give false positive , wont it be likely to give false neg too ??
pls read im not trying to find trouble or anything im just anxious for my life .
im just asking , if elisa can make a mistake in false positive , then can it make a mistake
in giving a false negative too ?? and at 12 weeks is the elisa test as good as the WB tesT ?? sorry for so many questions but im really terrified ..
please stop posting this nonsense, the fact that you took information on youtube regarding hiv should tell you something, get educated on HIV. A wb test would a confirmation test if you had a posotive elisa test. If you WB test was negative then you would not have HIV, you really need to get a grip
a western blot is done to confirm a positive result. you do not need to do a wb for a negative test result.
also is the ELISA test really effective ? or do i need to DO that WB test ttoo ????
