Question: Will 3 HIV tests at 2 reliable sources give as reliable a result as a Western blot or Elisa!? !?
Answers:
The usual HIV antibody test is an Elisa, if the initial test is positive they will do a Western blot to confirm it!. If the Western blot is negative the Elisa is considered a false positive!.

HIV tests are very accurate and sensitive, so you only really need to do one!. If it comes up negative and it has been less than 6 months since your possible exposure you should wait a few months and get retested, because in rare cases it can take up to six months for the HIV test to start showing positive, even though a person is infected and contagious long before that!. Make sure to use a condom and inform partners of your possible risk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
