[cuellar]

i performed unprotected oral sex on a woman,  i recieved a negative elisa test after 51 days of this risk, this was my last risk,
i don't know what kind of elisa generation it was practiced . the question is:  is an elisa at 51 days accurancy (reliable, confident)  independent of the generation test ?
thank you
p.d : excuse for my english , i live in venezuela


This discussion is related to 3rd Generation HIV test.

Hi there -

Testing at 51 days is very accurate - probably between 90-95% accurate.

Thanks, by your comments, i ask you understand me , i 'm still worried. the point is that i 'm not sure the generation of my elisa test. I ask lab and they said me that the test they performed to me it was 3rd generation but i don't trust a lot them , the reason is that i live in Venezuela and i don't belive that for a lab of resources not very high they could have this  expensive technology ( 3rd generation test) . In the case the test was practiced to me wasn't 3rd generation but 2nd generation the probably of 95 % still remain? thanks .

Yes, the accuracy is probably very similiar.
