What test is the best test?

[Need2knoww]

Which of these two tests is the best? and why? which one gets the least amount of false positive results?

- PCR RNA (quantitative) Viral load
- PCR DNA (qualitative)

Thanks!

You have a negative 13 week test. Enough testing and seek a therapist. If oyu can't accept a conclusive test another test will not help.

As high as 8-9% can be a false positive.  You have never explained what your risk was.  You could be freaking out for no reason.

I know that. I want to take it for peace of mind after my negative at 13 weeks. I have a persistent oral candidiasis that does not go away and two ID doctors say I have to test at 6 months for conclusive results... I can't really stress like that for another 3 months time. I would die of stress.

How likely is for a VL test to give a false positive? I want it as a confirmatory test only.

Thanks

Neither test is a diagnostic test.
