Both are conclusive: Since the ELISA included HIV2 as well as HIV1, it is a "third generation" antibody test. Those tests are virtually 100% conclusive by 6-8 weeks after exposure. (No need to wait 3 months; that's old news.) The Oraquick oral fluids test is conclusive by 3 months. Therefore, your tests are definitive and prove you don't have HIV, assuming no more recent exposures. You don't need any more tests.

Hello doctor. I was tested for HIV with the 3rd generation ELISA method which only detected antibodies at 85 days or 12 weeks. Are the results conclusive even though it's only the 3rd generation?

Hi Dr, how accurate is the antibody part of a 4th generation test at detecting hiv-2 at 38 days post exposure since p24 is not detectable on hiv-2. Doc has said I am conclusive about my negative status. Exposure was in Thailand.

Does Oraquick test for hiv 1 and 2? I called the oraquick hotline and they said the test does test for hiv 1 and 2. If by chance it only tests for hiv 1 could antibodies from hiv 2 cause a positive test? My oraquick test negative but just curious?
