question about testing accuracy
i think that i should get tested but i am nervous about getting a positive result that is false. is it possible to get a false positive on both the western blot and the elisa? and what is the probability of getting a false positive on an antibody test?
If you get a positive result the Western Blot will be the determining test. All positive tests are confirmed with a Western Blot or equivalent test. .
well ive been engaging in unprotected sex but im pretty sure most of the people were low risk
