What is the accuracy of hiv antibody test after 55 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Accuracy of ELISA: The elisa test is 99+% accurate (sensitive and specific) in individuals who have had the infection long enough for the assay to pick it up. For the 3rd generation tests used today, it can reliably detect individuals infected w/hiv at approximately 15 days. The 4th generation wh/tests for HIV antigen and antibody may show results even sooner. Always have testing done at a reliable certified lab.
