If the EIA test is positive then the Western Blot Test is performed
The western blot test
There is only one test that can give the accurate results for HIV. The only test that can do this would be the Elisa test.
There are several different ways to confirm HIV infection. One of the most common confirmatory testing methods is by Western Blot. There is also a confirmatory test called ELISA.
Yes, it is possible for a person to test positive for the Elisa test but negative for the Western blot test for certain conditions.
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.
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.
its the Western blot test
it is more accurate
The Western blot test is used to confirm the results
There is a test called the western blot and any doctor can send it.
If the Elisa was abnormal/inconclusive, the lab will do a Western blot. If that's positive for antibodies to HIV, it means you've been exposed. if the Western blot is negative, you're in the clear.
