sorry previous email has formatting issues.
I had a risky encounter (well risky by paranoia standards) 6 months back. I waited for the long window period to get as accurate a test as possible and avoid false negatives. I have also abstained for the past 6 moths.
I walked into a hospital and got a test yesterday. The results say "anti-bodies to HIV - Non Reactive" with a reading of 0.274. The report classifies values within 0.9-0.99 as intermediate and values greater than 1 as reactive.
Now this is a MEIA test while I asked for a ELISA and and receipt says "Test for HIV I&II ELISA". AFAIK Elisa test takes a few days to 2 weeks to test. I got my test results within 24 hours of the test. I have visited the premier hospital in my city.
Am not sure . . . is it time for me to breather easy. . . or is there any other test I should go for. Have turned into quite a hypochondriac since the encounter. however i have objective managed to determine that I have had no symptoms in the past 6 months which would be construed as HIV related. As such no high fevers flu like conditions, rashes or swelling etc
Your help would be highly appreciated and relieve me of great tension and depression.
Thanks.
