HIV Testing Advice

hello there ! Hope every one is well.
I had unprotected sex with a woman.
After 13 weeks i did in a reputable hospital an HIV test.
After 4 hours i came back and gave me result :
HIV abs MEIA S/CO 1 positive
Ratio : 0.25 negative.
Please what is this test and what about its generation and its accuracy ?
I asked them for ELISA but they did MEIA without telling me !!!
Thank you alot for help
