Respuesta del Dr. Santana
Tengo algo de duda.
El confirmatorio de que? , del Elisa o del Western Blot.
Me parece que lo mejor que puede considerar es consultarlo con el laboratorio que realizo la prueba y su medico. La prueba de Elisa hoy dia es muy confiable y reporta muy pocos falsos positivos. Entre los posibles falsos positivos se encuentran: vacunacion previa a la prueba de Elisa,infeccion viral reciente antes de la prueba de Elisa, mujeres con embarazos multiples (mayor de 4-5 ) historial de algun tipo de cancer (Linfoma)entre otros.
Una opcion a considerar seria realizarse una prueba de PCR HIV 1-2 cualitativa o cuantitativa.
Saludos
