Hiv 1 & 2 test after 5 months

Hello Doctor,

Greetings to  your hard work,

                     I have checked Hiv 1 & 2 abs test after 4 & 5 months, is it conclusive or i have to wait for anohter 1 month for extra sure.

What is known as elisa method? whether hiv detection has to be done only through elisa or normal hiv 1 & 2 Abs test is enough.

When is normally a hiv test should be done after a possible exposure for 100% sure.

Kinldy do the reply to relive by fear.
