Hiv Duo is Positive - Western Blot is Indeterminate
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....

perhaps your infection was acquired from a different episode hence the antigen part is no longer positive. correct me if I'm wrong. your interdeterminate WB is nothing to worry about now. Wait for 3 months and test again with an antibody test. Take care.
Like you were advised,an HIV test will be conclusive at 3 months post--exposure.
