Home Access uses IFA? Does anyone know how they get blood tested from the little swatch?

I called HA Co. and they stated that their test is ultra-sensitive. (more so than the ELISA), somehow I find this false since there is only an ELISA for preliminary testing.  I think she was reading from a screen.

Is anyone familiar whether the test they use is more sensitive than that of a clinic?

How do they test the blood from that filiment paper?

Are these qualified persons (lab techs) that do this?  or are they temp. workers ?  (lol)

let me know...especially if you had been tested with them.

home access is just as reliable as a lab test. But any test taken before 12 weeks is not considered conclusive but it you tested after 6 weeks its not gonna change at 12
