Reply to Scary Posted by: Xx | 2012/05/23 Are u on meds? Reply to Xx Posted by: Brendan | 2012/05/23 My friend, answer the question. Have you tested positive on an Elisa and confirmed positive on a Western Blot? Reply to Brendan Posted by: Jozi | 2012/05/23 Scary, are you on meds? maybe there is an explanation as why this happens Reply to Jozi Posted by: Scary | 2012/05/23 I did blood test in 2002, I only do VL and CD4 test twice a year.Do you think I am cured(just pushing it), I think this rapid results are not reliable,you might have full cake with someonenegative on rapid test and assume she is negative while Elisa can say something different.I think I will go for Elisa soon maybe I might be lucky after 10 years. Reply to Scary Posted by: DJ | 2012/05/23 It cannot detect the virus when you are undetactable. Elisa is the best Reply to DJ Posted by: Brendan | 2012/05/23 Did you test positive on an Elisa and WB?
