How many people out there have got a False Positive with Discreet HIV test. Are there any links to posts , articles that document reliability of Discreet HIV tests. I just got a positive on the Discreet test at 8 weeks. I had a negative on ELISA at 4 weeks. Have tested again with ELISA today....results due tomorrow!

somebody help me out here

Don't put too much stock in the Discreet test.

Good luck.

Discreet is not accurate. If you took that disregard your results, and re-take with either Home Access, or a standard ELISA test at your Dr's or lab.

I got my ELISA tests for HIV 1 & 2 screening as non-reactive. What a relief. I think I have been a complete fool to test myself with that product. I strongly advise everyone not to use the Discreet Test....it gave me too much anguish for a day! Waiting for my final ELISA test at 12 weeks!!

Since I took both Discreet and ELISA on the same day, is it possible that Discreet is more sensitive than ELISA or are these just negative tghts of a distressed mind??
