OLD HIV test technology

From Egypt where the population is 90 000 000 , and only 3000 HIV case

Just know that my lab don't use ELIZA technology regarding the HIV tests and for sure not the 4th generation tests ... i am trying with the nurse to know the name of the test she don't know and i also tried with customer services they don't know . all they tell me :  HIV antibody (aides test)
How in 2014 a big lab in the middle East don't use ELISA for HIV
The lab customer services told me also they use ELISA for virus C & B.
in this lab they take a blood sample from my arm in the morning an i receive the result same day at night.  
any one can suggest which test is that ??

I fond another lab where the have hiv ag/ab test by CMIA but they asking for full details and a copy from the ID. and i cant give them all this information as if i tested positive they wiil report the result for the ministry of health , and they will but me in an HIV Hospital.
