WTF! Confused on what's going on... Please help

[Lostchild89]

Okay so I've tested preliminary positive back in 2012. It was told to me by the blood bank I was at that it was more than likely. But when I went to the HIV clinic some weeks layer to start treatment, I came back negative 3 times on the oral test. I continued to stay getting tested all through 2013. Negative every time. Also, I had one partner and was completely safe. We even got tested together.

Now here it is in 2014 and another antibody blood test came back positive. But my oral test (done by professionals) is still negative. Now I'm waiting on my Western Blot. But have any of you heard of something like this happening and being either negative or positive?

Not to drive myself crazy but I'ma little confused...

Total BS.

Once the antibodies produced against HIV always test result will come as positive. ..
Anyhow your western blot will settle down your issues. For that purpose only that test is for. ..
Hope the information helps. ...

When you say total BS, what are you alluding to?

You're not telling the truth.

Well I'm sorry you feel that way but this is very honest. I don't have time to be dishonest. Nor does a confused, scared person have the notion to post on a website where a person's judgements means very little behind a keyboard. Therefore, I ask in paraphrase once again: is there a possibility that a preliminary blood test can differ from a preliminary saliva test if they both test for the antibodies? If so, how? If not, why?  That it all.

Blood Banks don't tell you anything, they advised you to follow up with your doctor. Oral test are not saliva test.

It was a plasma donation bank in Baton Rouge owned by Griffols. I always took the OraQuick exam (or its equivalent used by NO/AIDS Task Force New Orleans) and that's the one that continuously comes back negative. I know you rib it against the gums and all that. Maybe oral exam wasn't terminology.
