Your doctor doesn't know what he's talking about.

HI teak,

Doctor said Western blot test does not require the windows period thats why i went to that test . is it true

[Teak]

It's not, you don't need a PCR test. Get an antibody test. But first find a doctor that knows something about HIV.

Hi Teak,

How accurate western blot test , can i believe or not or-else can i move for another PCR test.

Your doctor is a quack. Western Blot is a confirmative test. Find a doctor that knows what they are talking about.
