Please can u pls clear one doubth for me which i have missed
10 week positive hiv kit and western resulted indetermine for p55, p66, p51. Same result came in one for the person.

Is this band p55,p66,p51 purely releted to hiv.
If rapid test showed positive then western blot should show all the bands.
Than p55,p66,p51 band indicate late conversation.
Pls clear only my this doubth pls pls pls

If you do not believe the result that you had with your tridot that you took at home at 12 weeks, then follow up with the lab you had your indeterminate western blot with so you can put this behind you...the result that you have from your western blot could have nothing to do with HIV, but you should of followed up with that lab anyway for another western blot result

Western Blots will have HIV protien already and we can produce millions of  different antibody and for whatever reason yours attacted to the protein and you got a result that was neither positive or negative, so you re-tested and got a negative result

A western blot needs 5 bands for a confirmed positive result.
