confusion regarding elisa test result
can any one tell me whether 12 week (84 days) 1st generation elisa test result is conclusive or not? If not then what is the parcentact of accuracy at week 12?
The reason why we won't recommend HIV testing if one doesn't have the slightest of HIV risk is simply because the result will definitely be a negative one, considering he/she doesn't commit any HIV-risky activities, namely unprotected vaginal/anal sex and/or sharing IV drug works with an HIV positive person. That simple.
But for psychological reasons some people need to get their "conclusive" result, and if that's the case then the test would better be undertaken at 3 months post-"exposure" to get the obviously negative result, and just once so as not to waste money. And ELISA is approved for use at that period.
Again: We DON'T recommend HIV testing for your previously written case(s)!
