you have been assessed as not having a risk for contracting hiv from what you have described.

kindly move on...you do not have a hiv concern and this forum has nothing left to offer

Anxiety comes to me again :(

I see people here taken more then two tests to confirm their status and i have taken only once .
for the past 1 month i am not able to do anything ,cant go anywhere ,cant do anything .fear is all around me
i am planning to do one more test ..hope it will come out good and it will work

i read on body.com that elisa test is 99.5% correct ? is it true ?

[Vance2335]

You don't get his point because if you did you would not be asking these questions still.

How can a test result be effected by anything when you had no risk?

[zoom27]

okey i got your point teak

but can u give me the information , high fever and antibiotics can effect the test result ?

which generation of elisa it was ? , what does "multi scan " means ?

thank you

[Teak]

You never had an exposure.
