Hello ,
I am male 26 yrs from india. I have a question regarding tri-dot test and elisa. After a risky exposure after 1.5 yrs i recently got tested. i got the result negative. I also had tested from same lab just 5 days after i had risky behavior. it was also negative.
The worry is that the test reports says that Elisa was performed but i got results in 30 minutes. Also when i inquired the lab they told me that the test they actually perform is Tri-dot.
Is tri-dot one of the form of elisa? If not then are lab results wrong and i still don't know the correct HIV status of mine? Can anyone put some insight over it ?
The lab i tested is respected in our area.
Also what are the chances of getting false negative result after 1.5 years from tri-dot? Is their any possibility of technical errors from lab????
