HIV Test

[hello78561]

sir,

i have sexual relationship before 13 years and before 2 years I did the elissa test twice in different labs and the result was negative, im planning to marry after 3 months but im still very scared from HIV.

My question did the antibody which detected by elissa test, could be appear even after 13 years of the sexual relationship?
If I want to do test what type do you suggest taking in consideration the 13 years?

[kumar007]

accurate...you are negative

[dude_hk]

Its conclusive,you dont have HIV, NO need to test again.

[hello78561]

i did the elissa test after 10 years of the sexual relationship and it was negative. so is this result accurate after 10 years or i have to do another test (not the Elissa) ???

[kumar007]

you said 'within a couple of week' ..how many weeks is tat? he also did not mention what generation test was it
so yea, elisa will detect antibody in blood as long the test was done after 3 month post exposure

[dude_hk]

You said "elisa will detect antibody in blood as long the test was done after 3 month post exposure.."

[kumar007]

that is what i said..

[dude_hk]

ELISA will detect antibodies within few weeks.
3 months is the current guideline for conclusive negative result in most countries.

[dude_hk]

If the ELISA tests you had was atleast 3 months post your last sexual contact,then the test results were conclusive and you don't have HIV and you dont have to test again.

elisa will detect antibody in blood as long the test was done after 3 month post exposure..
