Hiv Western blot test reliability

2018-12-09 18:07:15
Doctors, I had an unfortunate risky exposure (potential). I did a eclia test on day 30- result was negative . I did western blot on day 32- result was negative . I had all textbook symptoms of exposure. I'm worried sick. Could someone tell me how reliable these tests are. Also if these are not reliable for a early detection, could you suggest the name of the test that I should be taking. ?

A 4th Generation test done on day 45 is conclusive for HIV 1 and window period for HIV 2 is 3 months. This is called HIV phobia, please meet our team at the earliest to put your mind at rest. We see a lot of patients with HIV phobia and have had good outcomes.
