Hi dr.,
i have not risk for HIV actually sience i did not have sex sience last 2 year (NEGATIVE ELISA).
I planed to do full blood check before marrage, that my country (Oman) ask every one to do it before any marrage.
that day i got 2 injecation of FLU VAC. i was so sick. So i been to private clinc, My ELISA came POSITIVE, 2 time retested at sam clinc. it really shocked me.
then they adviced me to do it in diffrent clinc, then next day i have been to Apollo clinc with ELFA/VIDAS more advance or same as ELISA, then the result came Negative with .07 < .25. then i became happy whole the day, as i trusted my self that i do not have HIV as i do not have any hiv risk exposure.
Next day,my first clinc( positive elisa) sent to HIV/ADIS department in my country to ministry of Health- central department that control AIDS in oman, again i was stressfull for 3 days till my result , then they called me to collect my report with NEGATIVE elisa, thank the god, and they told me my first result was cross reacting as my flu van.
1-Now dr, should i get marrage after this scenario, and forget it because i feel i could not forget first test.
2- should i be worry, and these scenarios happened to others.
3- what does mean Cross reacting.
thank
