Re: Screening test accuracy
Its rather accurate TS but one question how long ago was your exposure and the time you had tested?

Re: Screening test accuracy
Go for a test instead of reading it too much. Imagine, out of the 10 you read, all give you different conclusion. You will go crazy, just go for the test.

Ive been reading up about the 4th gen test though. It search for both antibodies and the p24 antigens. Usually its 3 situations if the p24 antigens cannot be picked up by the test. 1) You're hiv negative 2) you've been infected 4-6 weeks earlier 3) p24 antigens to low for current tech to pickup. According to paid doctors (yes i paid for doctor subscriptions) and medical journals the p24 antigen protein starts to show in the blood at 14-16 days, and peaks at 28 days post exposure. So a negative at 28 days is pretty much 95% but cdc recommends 3 months for it to be fully conclusive. |

Re: Screening test accuracy
Usually test are designed to be more false positive. Usually false negative quite rare unless the test kit totally cock up. Once negative, usually quite conclusive
