In CMIA TEST 0.16 S/CO , possitive more than 4.0 s/co, boderline 1.0- 4.0 , which is mentioned Negative , And ELISA is possitive, ratio 1.6
What was the result in numbers?
Hi, I had gone to see my doctor today, he was shocked when I say I am HIV possitive, first he checked my both test result, and then he asked me about my exposure, He said ... In Pakistan HIV is very very rare, but its could be .... He sent me for a confermation (I think its Western Blot or may other) test, I will take result tommorow. My doctor said i am sure probably it will come Negative, he said to me that False negatives usually happen
He said to me your chances of being HIV positive are essentially nonexistent. He is confident that I am negative. He is pretty confident that there is some type of error in the ELISA test,
But I am going out of my mind. Can you help ? What does my HIV ELISA test report mean ? I am very very scared ....
You are incorrect, they give pos results all the time, along with a face to face consultation, and the recommendation to do a western blot to confirm or rule out the pos antibody (or AB/AG) test.
This poster did not follow proper protocol for testing.
yes it was, the lab never can give to you a positive result without take another sample collcet or perform a WB, because even though the high specificity, we have false poz.
The procedure was not incorrect, he sought out inappropriate testing, rather than going to a clinic or doctor.
the procedure was totally incorrect, in my country before WB, if the first antibody test came positive you have to collect another sample, then if it still positive, you go to collect WB to clarify the diagnose. Probably he had a false positive and he has to collect another sample within ELISA method and then WB.
REREAD WHAT I HAVE SAID 2X'S. Also no antibody positive test is conclusive until a Western Blot is performed.
go get a rapid test done...you can wait on the results. if positive...have a western blot to confirm.
you're not going to get a false negative at 3 months post exposure...at that time a test would be conclusive. odds are that you got a false positive...it happens.

Whoever told you you had a pos result is who you need to ask for further testing, to sort out if it could be a false pos or not.
