Who means test?
I have one question for DUO test. Everywhere it says that the DUO test is a combination of 3rd generation ELISA + p24 antigen test. Me interested in this question. If the laboratory does DUO test - is possible, that laboratory used of 1st. or 2nd. generation ELISA test + p24 antigen, without 3rd generation ELISA? Or everytime must be used 3rd generation ELISA? Thank you to answer
If oral sex is all you egaged in then you never had a risk & you don't need to test anymore.
I understand it, but it bothers me that the first generation ELISA tests are not as sensitive as the third test generation. I am afraid if my test is reliable after 6 weeks and re-test after 8 1/2 weeks after oral sex :/
Look,it really doesn't matter about the generation because all those antibody tests are reliable & have been approved.The HIV DUO test is a fourth generation test & you can count on this test to be highly reliable in looking for antigen + antibodies or both.
Thank you, and do you hnow of since the year is normally used 3rd gen. ELISA??? Or, Are there any places in the EU, where are used tests of1st, or 2nd gen. ELISA??? Sorry me English :)
They use 3rd gen and a DUO is a 4th generation test.It's highly accurate between 1 to 4 weeks post-exposure.
