Thank you so much.just tell me one more question and that is
does healthy individual has no antibody to hiv ? Is it true? or a low p17 antibody band also describe as negative or any band present but pattern does not meet criteria for positive after 12 months.. What does it mean?

hi samir , im too from india , from my knowledge , CMIA test looks for both antigen and anti body , the anitgen will only show up within 4 weeks so the cmia test taken after 4 weeks or 6 weeks will b only usefull to detect the antibodies ..so there is no chance for cmia become possitve after 8 weeks and elisa turns negative at same time ...if the infection present in blood then both test should show possitive ! .

No risk situation means what ?Does it possible that healthy individual has no antibodies to hiv? Then what is the 100% correct method for detecting hiv after 12 months. pcr  detect 7 days after infection,4th generation detect within 28 days and antibody not more than 3 month but rarely 6 months as per internet says.I want your opinion sir. Please suggest.
