Yep, that's what I'm doing. Thanks.
Yeah well they accidentally did just the Elisa for HIV-2 and not the Elisa for HIV-1. Would the Western Blot that was done specifically for HIV-2 have picked up HIV-1 Teak? My doctor admitted it was a screw up and gave me a new order for lab work. I guess I'll find out soon enough.
Your ELISA test would have picked up HIV 1.
Well I just found out something great. I found out my doctor accidentally tested me for HIV-2 with the EIA and the WB, but not HIV-1. Now I feel sick to my stomach because I do not know if the HIV-2 test could have been sensitive to HIV-1, and the confirmatory test was not. I guess I'll keep more people posted to see how this goes...
If the Western Blot was inconclusive then get tested again, but if it was completely negative for all protein bands consider you last WB about as close to 100% as science allows.Like Vance said-A Western Blot is done as a conformation test-meaning you are negative.
Vivax does not know what he is saying, listen to Lizzie. A Western Blot is done as a conformation test and if that is negative then you are negative. 100% conclusive is 3 months but I am not sure if the WB at this time is 100% or not.
the western blot trumps the EIA
