Brief Answer:
What is the exact test for HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the query.

What is the exact method of testing undertaken for HIV? Is it PCR for HIV or p24 antigen test? It would be good if you can upload the report which is available on the right side of the page.
Why were you worried about HIV now?
When were you exposed to high risk sexual intercourse?

I shall be waiting to reply you quickly.

Brief Answer:
Did the western blot arrive

Detailed Answer:
HI,

Nothing can be said now without the result of Western blot. The ELiSA has false positives sometimes.
The anxiety about ELISA test should not worry you. THe confirmation is only with Western BLot.
Second there are good medications now that can keep the viral loads to minimum levels.
I do not see any change in your life if you do not worry about the test.
