Hiv Duo is Positive - Western Blot is Indeterminate

[ayberk]

I decided to test on 28th day. ...

Vidas Duo test and result is :

ELFA (HIV Duo ULTRA -VIDAS)
RESULT (HIV 1/2 Ab) : POZITIVE
PATIENT VALUE: 0.48
Cut-off : Negative <0.25 T.V.
RESULT (HIV p24 Ag ) : NEGATIVE
PATIENT VALUE: 0.00
Cut-off : Negative <0.25 T.V.

then lab. validate with WB (same sample of blood).

the result is : INDETERMINATE (only p31 band positive)


What does mean ? Am I HIV patient ?

Please give me suggestions and ideas....

42.days PCR and DUO result.


PCR Result

HIV1-RNA 0.0 (NEGATIVE)
--------------------------------------------------------
after the PCR result re-test with DUO.
HIVDUO = 0.36 (POSITIVE)
p24 = (NEGATIVE)
-------------------------------------------------------

What does it mean ?

PCR - Negative but Duo still POSITIVE ?

this result belongs to hiv duo.

cutoff = negatif =< 0.25

but our result is 0.48 , means positive.

State your exposure so we can help determine your risk. I don't understand how 0.48 is considered positive. What I know is anything above 1 is positive.

Hiv 1 = positive (0,48) and p24= negative;

is this usual result ?
