![]() | Response from Dr. FrascinoHello, I would consider a positive ELISA, indeterminate Western Blot and undetectable viral load five years after a potential exposure to be evidence for negative HIV status. Are you in late-stage HIV/AIDS? No, of course not. You don't even have HIV let alone late stage AIDS. You're welcome. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
