Western Blot at 30 Days
Hi - this site is great...found it via Google, luckily. How accurate is a HIV Western Blot test at 30 days post exposure? My family doc says she has always heard 6 weeks. I got my negative results from that test this morning, but am still slightly concerned with her being adamant about 6 weeks. Can anyone help?
How is it not the right test? She said it was a confirmatory test so the most accurate.
did you have unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse?
share iv drug works?
an antibody test done at 3 months post exposure will give a reliable and conclusive test result.

I don't know why she did a Western Blot. That was my first and only HIV test. It's just what she recommended. Is that not accurate at 30 days???
exactly WHY would you have a western blot done? did you have a positive antibody test?
