Have a last review-its 4 months now

hey people-i did a routine hiv test and here are the tests and results-

day 1-eclia hiv test(3rd gen)-weakly reactive value 3-34 (LAB 1)
day 1-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)
day 1-IFA HIV TEST-Negative(lab 3)
day 3-eclia hiv test(3rd gen)-weakly reactive value 2.94(lab 1)
day 7-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)
day 14-IFA HIV TEST-NEGATIVE(LAB 3)
DAY 21-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)
day 36-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)
day 45-EIA HIV TEST-NEGATIVE(LAB 4)
day-60-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)
day 80-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)
day 97-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)
day112-CMIA abbot architect(4th gen)-non reactive(lab 2)

LAB-1 IS A GOOD BUT AVERAGE LAB
LAB-2 AND 4 ARE THE BEST LABS OF THE CITY
LAB 3 IS ONE OF THE MOST REPUTED HOSPITALS OF THE CITY

The days dont refer to days after exposure but days from the first hiv test which came out weakly reactive.i have had no exposure of any kind and prior to the tests conducted i have been tested negative 3 months before the first test taken.

do i need any more tests?

plz help-i will be highly grateful

No, you don't need a Western Blot done. You misread my post.

Sexual checkups for people who are sexually active are generally not a bad idea. However, there was no need for you to take 13 HIV tests over 4 months. A single repeat negative ELISA would have been enough to identify a false positive. If that doesn't satisfy you, just have a Western Blot done next time.

There is no need to test if you had no risk and there is no need to test out to 6 months either as it's the OLD window period.3 months is more than enough time.

What prompted you to get tested in the first place? It must have been something.

Your 'weakly reactive' test was a false positive. There is no other explanation.

You should STOP TESTING unless you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex with someone HIV positive or whose status you don't know, or share needles with IV drug abusers
