Teak, what I want to know is that, is a SPOT TEST method equally sensitive and specific regardless to the kind and nature of exposure? please help. i want to put this behind and know if I can rely upon my reports.
Dude, what is wrong with you? I understand and repsect the amount of your knowledge. what difference does it make to your life to answer the question isntead you continue being rude. my only q to you supposedly if i were to tell you i had a unprotected anal and vaginal exposure. would you consider my test report as confirmatory? are rapid spot test as accurate and sensitive as an elisa. does one need to confirm a negative rapid test report with an elisa
You didn't ask a question on unprotected vaginal or anal sex now did you? You were given your assestment on the exposure you asked. You didn't have a risk.
