[lantongblack]

it is ELISA, but they called it MEIA... yes, i heard it only took them 3-4 hours for an ELISA test.

[lantongblack]

its...sigh..too bad..jz a lab..they say window period is 6 months...n the receptionist there dun even know wat generation they are using

[excessworry]

MEIA is the 3rd GEn test, i found it out in TheBody website. So it should be very accurate
