Some help with the interpretation of my HIV test results
Hi, I recently had and HIV test since I had some misgivings about my status after I had an unprotected sexual encounter with someone I didn't know well. It was like 9 weeks ago. At the lab, they told me it would be an ELISA Fourth Generation test, and so, the results say I'm HIV negative, but there are some figures related to an RFV item which I don't understand well. It says my RFV is 0.02. Could anyone help me out with the interpretation of this?
RFV is Relative Fluorescence Value that is used by your lab to determin the outcomes of their calculation which is derived from a calculation model, where two test values are calculated by dividing the sample RFV for each section of the SPR by a corresponding standard RFV. The computer interprets test values of ≥0.25 as a positive result. Reactive samples are generated when one or both of the antibody and antigen test values are positive.
Don't induldge yourself into something that you wouldn't actually understand as it's completely related to medical community... 4th Gen ELISA is very accurate, you are NEGATIVE... Relax and move one...
