I received a Indeterminate H HIV-1 WB result- Reference range Negative:
Viral bands observed are P24, P31, P40, P55, GP120, GP160 (The intensity of p24 is less than the intensity of the control band on the weakly reactive control, therefore this pattern does not meet the criteria for a positive result).
Final:
Moderate growth of mixed enteric flora
Also usual genital flora isolated
Unable to screen for Gardnerella due to overgrowth of other organisms
I found out that my husband has been having an affair and his results were negative and I have never stepped out of the marriage. Can you please explain to me in more detail the chances of having HIV with these results. I went in again for more blood work (9 days after the first test) to see if the results are the same. I am extremely concerned and have 2 small children to take care of.
Thanks

I take it that the screening HIV antibody test was positive and hence why the western blot was obtained. Having 6 bands positive on the test certainly would indicate a positive western blot result. It was correct to have it repeated and see whether the results are the same or not.
