Fairly accurate, but not conclusive. HIV testing looks for antibodies that occur after a person is infected with HIV. These antibodies can take up to 90 days to develop, but can be found in as little as a few weeks. It would be suggested a person come back in a few weeks just to be certain.
That test's results will not be very accurate. It takes at least two weeks or more to develop antibodies that signify HIV. I suggest checking out this website for more questions: http://www.hivtest.org/
No. it usually takes between 3 and 6 months to have an accurate result.
4th generation HIV tests (antigen and antibody) will detect 95% of infections by 2 months. A small percentage of people may take longer to develop HIV antibodies.
It can take 3-6 months after exposure for the virus to show up in a blood test.
yes if the test perform after 3 months of post exposure.............
Wait 3 months after exposure to test for the virus.
Western Blot Test: is a blood test that produces more accurate results than the ELISA test.
Assuming you have not had sex during course of the 3 tests, and the last test was at least 6 months after you last potential exposure, if you come back negative 3 times in a blood test for HIV, it means that you are not infected with the Virus HIV or you do not have the HIV.
No the HIV test is not a medical examination. It is a blood test.
With a HIV test you are first required to make an appointment for the test to be carried out. A small amount of blood is taken and then sent away to a laboratory to be tested for the HIV antibodies. Two tests are normally carried out. If the first test is positive then a second test is carried out to confirm the original test. The two test are in fact different types of tests on the blood and therefore an accurate result is obtained.
No, HIV is not checked in routine blood tests. The test must be specifically ordered.
no you can still have it and show now signs you should get a blood test to find out if you have hiv A negative test at three months will almost always mean a person is not infected with HIV.Signs can show up even after 10 years. So get yourself tested if it has been at least three months after a contact with a potentially HIV-infected partnerYou have to do the Western Blot test and the RNA test
The first test performed is ELISA (or EIA) is a test that screens for the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood. This test is not a test for HIV/AIDS its a very sensitive and will be reactive even if there are only 1 or 2 antibodies in that person blood sample. If the results are reactive that test will be followed by a second test called confirmatory test which is highly accurate test in which it's is used to confirm the results of the ELISA.
You can not conform the presence of HIv with the blood test, you need to go with ELISA, tridot and also western blotting.
Most forms of HIV testing do not test for the virus itself. The tests are designed to detect antibodies that are related to HIV infection. Although extremely accurate, it is important to confirm any reactive test, making certain the anitbodies that were detected are indeed those from HIV infection.
