A member asked:
Is elisa test for hiv 1 & 2 antibodies conclusive after 8-9 weeks of exposure? does non-reactive mean negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ELISA for HIV: The ELISA test is not conclusive after any amount of time. The ELISA is a screening test and if it comes back positive, a Western blot will need to be done. Non-reactive is a good thing to be and it does mean that you are negative for HIV virus. Although there is a window period when you can have the HIV virus but still have a nonreactive result. Another test may be needed in that case. Suerte
