| Response from Dr. Pierone
 This pattern is strongly suggestive of a false positive test result. A positive EIA in conjunction with an indeterminate Western Blot and a negative nucleic acid test is typical of a false positive EIA test. However, you should see your doctor to repeat the test to verify this. | ||||||||
