Final test

Hello Doc,

Rapid @ 5 month
Elisa 4th generation (not duo)
pcr qualitative @ six month could be considered 100 conclusive

Is their any thing can effect those tests? I m only suffering frm Candida's alibicans after this strang infection that triggered all this. Doc says it is from antibiotic.

I also did a panel test for STI and hep a,b,c all likely turn negative.

Would all the above be conclusive regardless of the risk and the location( Africa) and immune system response? Even though pcr does not look at the immune response?

Your results are conclusive for sure. (FYI, 4th generation tests are DUO -- that's what 4th gen means.)

Also FYI, although Candida infections are more common in people with HIV, it's also true that 99.9% of candida infections occur in people without HIV. And indeed antibiotics are a common trigger. So no worries about that aspect.
