A PCR-DNA has no relavance at all. PCR-DNA test are monitoring tests for those that are KNOWN to be positive. NO, a pcr-dna are NOT RELIABLE and a Oralquick is only conclusive at 3 months.

Not approved by the FDA but it does have some relavance. Ive had my antibody test as well oral-quick and ora-rapid as well. I had them all done by work and my own outside the window, say 2 months. I am waiting for my 3 months but wouldent a PCR/ORAQUICK/ORARAPID test be damn near close to conclusive at 2 months?

What about the HBV? shouldent i show up positve if i have antibodys from my vaccine? im pretty sure it should, probably should go get a titer drawn?  Thanks
