ELISA Neg. yet bDNA shows 68 / partII
May 25, 1999

If you recall, i had a possible exposure about 22 months ago, tested 2 times elisa negative, then had a biopsy confirmed oral hairy leukoplakia, since had hiv-1 and 2 elisa and a western blot for hiv-1 all negative, cd4 766, but had a bDNA of 68.

You have suggested that i'm probably negative but i should repeat the bDNA or have a PCR.

Well i got the hiv-1 pcr results and it was negative.

so am i basically negative, or should i have any further tests done??? (i'd like to put this behind me!!!) I'm especially concerned as i had the hairy leukoplakia and now i read about one of the readers who tested negative for years, then had OHL and now is positive???)

Is OHL a source for concern? I'd appreciate your comments.

Thanks.

Response from Dr. Holodniy

The DNA PCR closes it for me, and I hope for you. MH
