HIV TEST

[Indy1978]

Is a HIV antibody blood test with WB includes tests for HIV-1, HIV-2, HIV-O reliable and conclusive 4 months after possible exposure? I went through this 2 years ago, and haven't really felt well since.  I just need some reassurance.

Thanks

You asked about the same question in 2011.

Thanks Teak.  Cancelling my account now...  I don't need to give you any reasons or justifications as to why I asked that question.  

Best of luck to you.

You've been coming here long enough to know when you can obtain a conclusive negative test results you have been advised over and over.

You do not have HIV, you had "Non Reactive" or Negative report

So the test I had mentioned is conclusive at 4 months?  Both tests I had were non reactive.

Third or fourth generation ELISA antibody test alone is enough and conclusive, when done after 3 months mark. WB test is ordered mostly when ELISA comes positive. WB a "golden test" is done to reconfirm the ELISA test
