Educational Knowlegde question

[lebronbryant2010]

Regardless of HIV Type, group or subtypes anti-bodies will still be produced anytime between 2-13 weeks and with the current  rapid blood testing  available in the market today (i.e. Abbott Determine HIV 1/2) will able to detect this?


HIV Types, groups and subtypes will only be concern once you tested positive. Am I having an accurate understanding…


I would greatly appreciate your knowlegde and experience with this. And please be patience with me I'm only want to educate my self and also share this with others who I know suffering from HIV anxiety...

END OF DISCUSSION

[lebronbryant2010]

you are correct. but what i have been looking for this time is regardless of hiv groups does anti-bodies still be detected by rapid blood testing... because lizzie, im sorry to tell you that the counselor i have been into was also dont know the answer...And I dont have the credit card to post the question in the doctors forum. and my only hope to give knowledge in this event is you guys. which have the experience and knowledge with this disease.

Sorry if i am very eager to know this. but please dont be mad at me. i am only human.. thanks very much...

[lebronbryant2010]

hiv subtypes and groups are different.. thats why im asking... and please lizzie lou be patient. i dont intend to be a paranoid.. im only asking... thanks again

[kumar007]

tests for hiv1 detects all subtypes under it

[lebronbryant2010]

thanks kumar.. but how about hiv groups  i.e. Group M, N, O, P under HIV-1 type.. will antibodies show-up between 2-13 weeks? or there is a limitation?

[kumar007]

current tests including the one you mentioned will be conclusive for all subtypes at 3 months post exposure

[lebronbryant2010]

i just hoping that somebody will find some time to answer this question of mine...
