negative, western blot equivocal p24, undetectible pcr viral load
any further testing needed?
If so can one use oraquick or could this be potentially false positive as western blot is still equivocal at p 24?
Thank you
, negative pcr viral load at 2 weeks and 6 weeks. This was using new generation elisa, western blot. If too much testing, and not enough, can anyone reference a credible article with data that show evidence for false negative PCR viral load testing at one month when a individual is has not received post exposure prophylaxsis, is not immunosuppressed, and does not have a coninfection with hepatitis C? My understanding is that most individuals will have detectible viral loads via PCR if done greater than 28 days. I understand that current recommendations call for elisa at 3 months.
Its ok, my bf had it for a couple of years but didnt know it because he didnt get tested. I tested negative after six months of being wiith and 6 months later I tested positive.

are you saying the cdc recommnedations are wrong?
did you have any chance of exposure during the 6 month period?
did you have elisa, western blot and pcr testing?
