Your ELISA result of 0.03 Sample to Cutoff is considered negative, meaning no infection is detected. You are currently in the safe zone. If this test was done soon after a potential exposure within 2 to 4 weeks, consider repeating the test after 3 months to rule out late seroconversion. Please consult a doctor for confirmation based on your history.

I had sex only once, and I used a condom. But my report says HIV reactive. How is this possible? I know people who have sex often yet they are not HIV positive. Just one time and I am positive? I am really disturbed. What should I do now?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I tested myself for HIV 50 days after exposure using a CMIA Duo test, and the result came back non reactive. Can I consider this result conclusive?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Why do I see a pink horizontal line near the p55, p31, and gp41 regions on my Western blot test, but it does not look like a proper band? My report says no bands were detected and that I am negative. I asked two doctors who are not sexologists, and they said it is nothing to worry about and the pink line might be something else. My previous TriDot test was also negative. The lab said that bands need to be clearly formed to be positive, and in my case, no bands appeared. Can I be sure that these results are accurate? My exposure was 8 years ago, but I still have many symptoms of AIDS.
