Elisa Test Result Was Rushed

Elisa Test Result Was Rushed

Hi  , is it possible to receive an elisa antibody/antigen test result within one hour. I was told it took days to get an accurate result from this type of test. If the elisa test was rushed and results were given in one hour, can i trust the results of this test. I believe they used the newer generation elisa test. Is it possible newer generation test results can be received in one hour, i was told by a doctor it is unlikely to be accurate. Pls give your advice.

Yeah it's conclusive if it's negative. If it's not then it must be confirmed by another test which is western blot

my report says: HIV Antibody 1 and 2: Non-Reactive, so I just wanted to confirm whether it is a 3rd generation standard antibody test or not?
