Quest diagnostics lab
Does anyone know what Jon of hiv antibody test quest uses ? I know that they are one of the biggest labs in the US with many offices located. Do they use the latest technology ? I.e. 3rd gen hiv antibody tests. If anyone knows that would e great, I'm assuming they do ? But can't seem to confirm it anywhere. I had a 53 day negative test done with them I know it's considered 98+ % reliable at that point and I know I have Ben advised I had a low to no risk exposure, just mentally trying to Accept the facts here. I don't want to return for a 3 month test in fear of a false positive. So I'm hoping that confirmation that quest uses the most up to date technology would put me completely at ease. Obviously i know they don't use 4th gen but do you think they use 3rd ?
Your questions should be addressed to your specific local lab, they will all vary per location what they offer. There's no way we could ever answer that.
You can look up the Aptima Hiv-1 rna which was approved by the FDA ... Look up FDA.org and search for it and READ.....
