Can somebody explain

I just joined the forum and I was reading in the expert forum archives when I found a comment from Dr. HHH saying the an ELISA test after 3 months is 100% relaible unless you have terminal cancer, chemo theraopy and that no other medical condition can effect the test. What does "terminal cancer" mean? I suffer from Sjogren's Syndrome would this medical condition which is an autoimmune disease effect the result of my test? my test was more than 18 weeks past exposure.

You don't have HIV and no, Sjogren's Syndome will NOT have an effect on your test result.
