Hi, i had a possible exposure a long time ago. I got a negative ELISA at 36 months from that date. I'm a healthy male and call me paranoid, but i'd like a second opinion on this. Would you consider a negative ELISA at 36 months conclusive. I mean i read somewhere if someone progresses to the final stage of AIDS, then theres a slim chance that they'll false negative. But what do you all think, negative ELISA for hiv1 and 2 at 36 months, conclusive?

A negative test after 36 months is totally conclusive! :wave:

awesome, i was just worried about that thing i read about the very unlikely chance of false negatives in the final phase of aids. I guess too much internet surfing can't be good for you. But yah, i see a lot of paranoia on these boards, including myself. But i guess there just so much fear of the virus that it's really misunderstood.

you would know that you were in the final stages of AIDS. seriously. you are totally negative and then some.

if you were in final stage of Aids, you wouldnt be typing on the computer.
