Even thought not "officially" approved for as stated by manufacturers, will the current antibody tests used in the US pick up the odd strains? The test I took states it will detect "O". But will they pick up the other strains like "N" and "P" groups and CRF's? I spoke with the manufacturer and they said it was not officially approved for but was a 3rd generation test. Thanks
"3 months is when you can obtain a conclusive negative test result"-Teak
3 months is conclusive...symptoms are meaningless.
No one has used 6 months since like 2004.
The questions were only asked for information purposes and if that would change your thoughts due to ongoing symptoms. Mr. Teak, if you could look back at post before Vance2335 and answer I woiuld greatly appreciate it. Thank you
So you read what Teak said about 3 months is conclusive yet you choose to ignore what he says?
forgot to add this: Would two weeks make a difference in testing to 6 months? thank you.. No more bothering you here today.
I see where you say 3 months is conclusive. Are my 5 and 5 1/2 month tests rock solid then despite symptoms? Can there be a chance that there is a strain that is not detectable by the tests that I had? When do you feel one should stop testing for HIV and look elsewhere to as cause for symptoms? I want to have sex with my wife but dont want to infect her. please advise
They are the same tests along with the MEIA. 3 months is when you can obtain a conclusive negative test result. Yes they can detect both and your chance of contracting either groups is ZERO.
