A member asked:
Hiv test results that say "react positive", what does that mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Positive: 'react' is probably short for 'reactive, ' which means positive. However, to interpret a traditional HIV test, you need to know the results of both the elisa and the western blot. I don't know which one you're referring to.

So some Drs say that a hiv a negative antibody test at 8 weeks means you dont have hiv but guidelines say 3 months. Which is correct?
