What does it mean when a western blot test results as "undetermined"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indeterminate: Most likely what you mean is that the Western Blot result is "indeterminate". That means that the test is neither negative or positive. This type of test is a 1st generation confirmatory test for HIV. I would recommend that you repeat the test utilizing a 4th generation test. This will very likely give you a definitive result.
