Medhelp team.

I had sex with Hiv 2 Women and tested inderteminate Western blot at 8 Months.

The WB was unnecessary since you tested negative on the rapid test. A WB should only be used to confirm a positive result. You don't have HIV.

Sir, I have tested hiv with rapid ( 10 minutes ) negitive result at 3 months.

With WB indeteminate at 8 months with 3 bands.

1. is rapid test equal to elisa. ?

Doesn't mean a thing since you weren't confirming anything.

[Healthadvisory]

A test at 3 months is conclusive.

[amitson]

I have done rapid test hiv negitive.

I am confused in this site, please help.

I have read in some they say to test rapid ( 10 minutes ) it is equal to Elisa.

Sometimes, they say it is different and if we go to any lab they will use rapid test.

I am negitive for 3 months ( 2.9 ) with rapid test.

again sometimes they said to test 2 times with elisa

[shibumon]

u have to do elisa for hiv1/2.
hiv2 window period is same 3 monts unless ur immunocompromised//

[amitson]

tks,

1. If i had HIV2, Western blot at 8 months will become positive. - is it correct.

2. HIV2 window period.

3. Spot test rapid is it equal to esila test.

Western Blot tests are not to be used in that manner.

[amitson]

Had sex with + women for 5 months continuous unprotective, later came to know she was positive where hiv 2 is very high.

I tested spot test ( 5 min ) rapid test at 2.8 months resulted negitive and again just for sure tested western blot resulted indeterminate with 3 bands at 8 months.

pls help
