New CDC HIV Diagnostic Testing Algorithm

[@zwitterionman2359]

What a wonderful lecture! Thank you so much for posting this! 🙏 To have someone like Dr. Spach as a teacher would be the best thing to ever happen to any student.

thank you for the lecture. You explained it clearly.

Had exposure twice in 8 days through unprotected sex. Did ELISA test at day 35 post-exposure, it was negative. However, bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy persists up to now with low grade fever. Tested negative for malaria, salmonella. CBC revealed neutrophilia. Any advice on how to proceed? Was of course advised to repeat ELISA test after 4 weeks by one lab and another lab advised repeat after 3 months from second exposure. Wouldn't it just be better to do a PCR test instead to avoid all the confusion?

Demand a viral lad test. That will surely detect the hiv

Test in 90 days is absolutely conclusive?

[@Mr.Majestic77]

Debraj Bhatt Yes!!! Tested negitive both in June 2018 (30 days out) and September 2018 (105 days out). Took a 4th Generation HIV 1 & 2 duo/combo Antibody test (has a 95% accuracy in 30 days after possible exposure and 99.7% accurate after 90 days) along with a HIV 1 RNA QL TMA (99.7% accuracy after 30 days). Both test was be a blood draw taken to a laboratory for processing (NOT a rapid test). The 4th generation HIV 1 & 2 Antibody test is far better than the previous HIV 3rd generation test, which required retesting at 90 days. The 4th generation duo HIV 1 & 2 Antibody test along with an HIV 1 RNA QL TMA (early detection test) will be given to be conclusive that you are HIV negative. The HIV 1 RNA looks for the actual HIV DNA in your system and has pretty much replaced the Western Blot. Both HIV vaccines SAV001H & HVTN 702 have both advanced to Phase III trails!

Mr. M A J E S T I C XIII . Blackstruggle77 hi was exposed at 25 August and I di 2 teste lab 4 th generation and one 5 generation hiv test 21 January was last non reactive all . I need go next month can I do both 4 generation and hiv rna?

No one is clear with the HIV testing protocol , they always use the words ( interpreted- supposedly- let's assume ) even in the CDC website there is no guarantee when the particular i individual will become positive for the test. When someone tested positive outside of the window period they will define it as a rare case or whatever , for your safety get tested at 6 months or more.

John Jones Thank you,I go very soon to test again

[@phanibhushan2726]

@@johnjones9270 don't create panic in people...... Hiv tests are conclusive in 6 months.... Western blot all proteins negative shows u r negatibe ... .. No reason for testing positive later after a year...... Antibodies will surely form in 28 days average..

[@phanibhushan2726]

Around 7:58" You mentioned about p24 particle and said some thing unclear about its presence in all the strains of hiv..... You used the word occasionally......do you mean it is seen in all the strains of hiv or it misses in some strains..... Pls answer , your statement is confusing at that point of video.

No that test if very deceptive. HIV is harmless bullshit at most. Ask the inventor of PCR Kerry mullis. He talks about it or Peter duesburg and several others .its a trick. I am not gonna bother to elaborate. Don't take my word for it please. You must learn about it yourself. Because now you have no idea .
