Can HIV Elisa test be negaitve after 9 months postexposure, but a PCR be positive?

I've taken an elisa test 9 months since my first time exposure with someone I didn't know. Her boyfriend she later found out was bisexual. She told me she was negative so no condoms were used. Am I in the clear with my negative eliisa at 9 months post exposure?? If I do a pcr test will the test show up positive with a high viral load?? Or will it confirm the accuracy of my 5 negative elisa tests? Is it even certain that my pcr will come back negative or what? Like I've said I've received 5 negative elisas up to the 9 month mark. What should I expect??

Any HIV Test that shows negative is negative. I have never heard of any HIV test showing negative by using one method and positive by another.

As long as your Elisa test was performed at least 3 mths after your LAST exposure, then its correct. You would not have a viral load at all if your antibody test is negative, it means you don't have the virus!

Am I in the clear with my negative eliisa at 9 months post exposure?? YES

If I do a pcr test will the test show up positive with a high viral load?? NO, This would be a waste of your time and money. PCR is not an approved test for early detection anyway.

What should I expect?? A Big Bill For The Tests.

You have conclusive results and no further testing is needed, Any testing here forward would be a waste.

Hope this helps!

You've never heard of a negative elisa at 9 months, but a positive pcr at nine months? What should I do? Should I get it?

What should I do? Should I take another hiv test at 1 year. What should I do? Can I rely on my negative elisa at 9 months?
