getting tested for the first time on 126th day of exposure

[ronvandon]

due to fear, i never got tested even after 90 days of possible exposure..........but now i have gathered logic and strength.......today is 126th day of exposure......will the result be reliable....because somebody in this forum was suggesting that at 90 days, the results are most reliable.........anyway i m getting tested...........please comment

elisa

[ronvandon]

please tell me the full name of this antibody test(confused with nos. 1 and 2)

Those other tests you mention are all early detection tests,an elisa test will be enough at 126 days and a cheaper option aswell.

[LIZZIE LOU]

all you need is an antibody test

[ronvandon]

ok......which test would be best then.....it is 126th day of exposure......is it elisa, combo(p24 antigen), pcr DNA ,pcr RNA, western blot..............please tell me the full name of the test which i will be telling the pathologist.........cost is not the concern....reliability is

[LIZZIE LOU]

you only need to test once...there is no reason to give samples at three different places.

[ronvandon]

thanks.....i think a 3rd generation elisa test or a 4th generation combo test will be sufficient.....anyway i m going to give samples at three places simultaneously..........i want to get over it as soon as possible.......

the results will be CONCLUSIVE and you should trust the result.  further testing will not be needed.
