The window period for a Western Blot test is typically around 3 to 8 weeks after initial exposure to a virus, such as HIV. During this time, the body may not have produced enough antibodies for the test to detect. It is important to wait until after this window period for accurate results.

Is it false the first test given to determine the presence of aids antibodies is the western blot test?
Yes, it is false that the Western blot test is the first test given to determine the presence of AIDS antibodies. The initial screening test for HIV antibodies is typically an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). If the ELISA test is positive, a confirmatory test like the Western blot may then be used to verify the results.
What is non reactive HIV test result?
Negative result. Take the Western Blot to confirm. A non reactive HIV test is a negative HIV test. There is no reason to confirm this with a Western Blot. Western Blots are only used to confirm a positive ELISA.
What is the clinical benefit of completing the Western Blot as a confirmatory test for the ELISA test?
it is more accurate
When testing for HIV what accurate more results than ELISA test?
