Elisa test related question

[gayathri2k6]

Hello,

Due to companies requirement I under went Elisa test for HIV few days back.
H.I.V 1 and 2  0.30IU/mL was the result.
I consulted a doctor he said the result is negative however this test is for Antibodies,some antibodies has been detected in my blood which is generated to fight HIV virus.
I am married I never had sex anyone other than my husband,never shared needle nor I am drug user.
My husbands test result is negative too.
How accurate is Elisa test? does food influence the test results?
Should I go for WB test?
I am really shattered to hear that some antibodies has been detected in my blood which is generated to fight HIV virus.
Also does Elisa test detects other antibodies which is not related to HIV antibodies?

Kindly suggest
Thanks in Advance

You are hiv negative!

Elisa is a extremely accurate test.

Good luck!!!!

Your test result has a value duo to the chemistry of it and not due to the amount of detection.
Any test value below a specific limit is a true negative.

wht is this 0.3IU/mL found in my blood?

[gayathri2k6]

One more question

If you weren't exposed within the window period then this result is conclusive

[gayathri2k6]

Thanks a lot,I appreciate your help

As far as the question of exposure myself and my husband,there is no question of exposure with others are any of the below
unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration
-from mother to child
-by sharing drug works

That means that if you weren't exposed within the window period then this result is conclusive

[gayathri2k6]

Thanks both of you.
I have a question,does this mean I should take a test again after 3 months?
myself and my husband must not indulge in sex we are planning for a baby!

Thanks.

Hi,
For starters, Hiv can only be transmitted through :
-unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration
-from mother to child
-by sharing drug works

Now about your test: elisa test is an extremely accurate test. Its window period is 3 months after the last exposure. A negative result, which is given by taking this test 3 months after an exposure, is fully conclusive.


Stay safe

The elisa is extremely accurate and both you and your husband had negative results therefore neither of you has HIV and there is no need for a WB.
