I'm really worried because I had an HIV ELISA test for my visa, and the result was 0.14, which I know is negative. But why didn't it come out as 0? Is it even possible for someone to actually get a 0 on their HIV ELISA test?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
In HIV ELISA testing, a result of 0 does not typically occur as it indicates no presence of antibodies at all, which is rare. A result of 0.14 is considered negative for HIV, as it is below the cutoff value for a positive result. This means that there were no significant levels of HIV antibodies detected in your blood sample. It is important to continue practicing safe sex and regular testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

View allI recently got tested at Lal Path Labs and found out that both Chlamydia and Herpes came back reactive. I'm unmarried and now I'm confused about whether I should get married or not. Can these diseases be cured? What could happen if these are passed on to a female partner? I'm taking homeopathic medicines right now. I'm really worried about this whole situation.
Your son is due for the IPV and Hib vaccines, but unfortunately, they're not available right now. Don't worry, I've got some advice to help you navigate this situation. Firstly, *delayed vaccination is not ideal, but it's not the end of the world either*. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids receive the Hib vaccine at 12-15 months, and the IPV vaccine at 12-18 months . Since your son is already 2 weeks overdue, *you should consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action*. They may recommend alternative vaccination schedules or provide guidance on when the vaccines are likely to become available again. In the meantime, *make sure your son is up-to-date on all other recommended vaccinations*. This will help protect him from other serious diseases. Lastly, *don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or a vaccination specialist for further guidance*. They can provide personalized advice and help you make informed decisions about your son's vaccination schedule.

Hey, I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I took an HIV 1 and 2 ECLIA antibody test on the 63rd day after potential exposure, and it was done using the Roche e411 analyzer. I'm curious about how accurate the results might be at this stage. Should I trust the results, or do I need to retest later?

I'm just wondering about my recent HIV test results. Me and my boyfriend have been together and sexually active for over a year, and he's HIV negative. I got tested today and the result was non-reactive but it showed an observed value of 0.16. What does that 0.16 mean exactly? If I were to take the test again, is there a chance that this number could go up? I'm just a bit curious and concerned about what it all means.
