Hello. Have been reading your posts...I know there are a difference between the Lyme and the HIV tests..But what are the Bars in the Lyme one..And what was the standerd window period for the HIV test in 2003..In January of 2003.In 7 month relationship and still going..Took the HIV test Negative. While I was in my first tri..Baby born test Negative..In 2007 tested for Lyme>positive. I know sometime the tests get changed to perform more better. Thank you for reading..
Maybe your doctor decided to run both because of your symptoms.
No and no the same tests are not used to detect Lyme disease and HIV.
