Does P24 work after 1 year?

[Sep24]

Sorry again to bother you. I recently decided to take HIV test again after my last exposure around 1year and half. I was very happy when I got the result "negative", but when I looked at the method use, it was P24 (par Elisa). Immediately, I checked on the internet and found that P24 is used only for early HIV test (around 2-4weeks) and will fade away after that. Does P24 still use to detect HIV after 1 year and half? My lymph nodes are still everywhere, neck, armpit and groin, and I also have serious skin problem with my knee and I feel not well when I sleep at night and noon. Pls response as fast as possible.

It is a combined test (ab + p24) and means that you are NEGATIVE. Try to move on.

Cheers

Hey anyone can translate this result for me?

SEROLOGIE DE DEPISTAGE V.I.H.1-V.I.H.2
(par test ELISA VIH combine)

V.I.H 1/2 et Ag p24 (Axsym HIV1/2 Combo): reaction NEGATIVE

CONCLUSION:
Absence d'infection (sauf exposition< 6semaines).

please tell me whether or not it works after 1 year and half? I am too shy to talk with the doctor. what is "par test ELISA VIH combine"?

No it doesn,t,its really only effective at around 28 days and possibly a little longer before it becomes undetectable.

If P24 doesn't work after 1 year and half, how can the result be conclusive?
