What should I do if a mongoose suddenly jumped on my foot? I'm not sure if it was his nails or if he bit me, but I felt something. Should I be concerned?

I'm trying to understand the differences between the Tri-dot test and the ELISA method for HIV screening. Which one is more accurate, and is there a reason why youd choose one over the other? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure I get the right test.
Both **Tri-Dot** and **ELISA** are used for HIV screening. **ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay)** is more sensitive and specific, detecting HIV antibodies or antigens in blood. **Tri-Dot** is a rapid test, easier for quick results but less reliable than ELISA, especially in early infection.

I recently got my HIV test results back, and they came out as non-reactive with a COI of 0.290. I'm a bit confused about what this means. Is it a positive or negative result? Can you help me understand?
I can understand your concern. Why were you advised hiv 1 and 2 test in the first place? Was there any history of risky behaviour recently? The present report which you have posted here is negative. There's nothing to worry regarding it. But if there's any recent history of risky behaviour, then repeat the test after 3 months. Because the test can be negative during window period.
