I got my results back from labcorp today they did an HIV 1/0/2 abs qual. test and it came out negative after 9 month exposure and it said non-reactive by ICMA...what is ICMA i only heard of ELISA..can I rely on it

[mike_no]

ICMA ( Immuno - chemiluminometric assay ) = MCIA (Microparticle Chemiluminometric Immunoassay)

It's an FDA approved test which detects for HIV 1/0/2 ABs

You are 100% conclusively negative, move on !

just out of curiousity what was your exposure.??

Yes, you can rely on it. But the first question that you need to ask yourself is why the heck did I not get tested at 3 months and forget about the whole thing. What's the point of wasting 6 months of your life on groundless fears?

[peekawho]

Of course you can.  Do you think for some reason, the rules would be different for you?  Why would you think that?

I have seen in different posts by Dr HH that tests after 6 weeks by ELISA is extremely reliable. After nine months is defnitely reliable no matter what the test.
