Why did you have a Western Blot @ 4 weeks? What was your risk?

The WB test is used to confirm your sero-status after a reactive ELISA test taken at the three month mark. It is not used to determine your sero status @ 4 weeks. The cut off point from which you can be sure of your HIV status is three months. Tests taken before then cannot be considered reliable.

Enough is enough. You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV and have been told over and over again. MOVE ON.
