Indeterminate WB test
Hello
quick question to experts here - about a month ago had protected sex with a CSW in Dallas area, all with condom. Asked the girl about STD's - she said she tested negative shortly before (not sure if i can believe her). Decided to do HIV testing - Western blot came indeterminate, showing equivocal p24 only. do I have to worry about it? I'm sure i was HIV negative before this encounter. Is that possible that this p24 antibody is produced by smth else? I do not know if they ran other tests such as Elisa as the doctor only shown me WB results.

thank you for quick answer. out of curiosity and perhaps still bit paranoid- why p24 shows up? does it just happen in some individuals?
