Enough, you do not have HIV.
I know.. i don't have HIV and thanks for your all help/advice/support..but this is for premeplyment check up..Members of the group advised for Elisa..but in the clinick they didn't have ELISA..and hence gone with COMBO.. As far as reliability concerned..both COMBO and ELISA are equally reliable..right?
Nothing to add to what Lizzie has already advised you.
Could you please comment on my last post?
Dear All
I went to clink for HIV test as suggested by Joggen earlier as a part of my pre-employment check. But the doctor in the clinick had decided to a test named " HIV 1& 2 ANTIBODIES, COMBO TEST INCLUDES P24 ANTIGEN".
Looking at my situation ( as experts had told me I didn't have any exposure), whether this test would be good enough to MOVE ON! I will get the results by this evening.
Your comments would be highly appreciated.
Thanks Lizzie..so sweet of you..My regards to you and your family..
Thanks.. hopefully I will not be a VICTIM of FALSE POSITIVE...Wish me luck..Thanks Joggen, Rainlover.
Many thanks to Lizzie and Teak who had helped me to over come my anxiety..
No,they are virtually the same tests.
This is different from ECLIA test? right?
Thanks for the response. is there any name of the test, that I need to go for? I understand there are few different test for HIV.
Take a standard blood test. But even if you get a false positive, it has to be resolved through a Western Blot.
