What is Electrochemiluminescence?

Hi,
Last time on which I was tested was not electroimmunoassay  but it was Electrochemiluminescence.My pathologist said to me that it is better than ELISA.Sorry for repeating the questions?This would be the last question pertaining to my exposure.

I have tested on 91st day.

Results:Negative HIV1/HIV2 antibodies
Nonreactive.
My question are as follows:

1) Is Electrochemiluminescence testing better than ELISA?

2)Is it better than ELISA?

3)I been taking course of Allegra 120 mg Aventis for my Nasal problem(http://products.sanofi-aventis.us/allegra_D12/allegra_d12.html).This medicine is an antihistamine.
Does intake of such kind of drugs effect the Electrochemiluminescence testing or causes late HIV seroconversion ?

4)Should I need to test again?

I am extremely sorry friends for being little irritating.I am bit worried after what I have done.May be because of guilt and also because I have seen 2  people in my locality dying of AIDS. Please advice me this would be the last time.

regards,
Chirag

At least you can tell whether Electrochemiluminescence is reliable or not?
