Estimado Amigo:

Detenga ya y no se realize mas Elisas. Usted no esta infectado. Este tema ha sido discutido en el Foro seccion de la prueba de VIH. Posiblemente usted tenga en sangre alguna proteina la cual la prueba detecta falsamente como uno de los anticuerpos pertenecientes a la envoltura del virus. Esto aunque poco frecuente hoy dia todavia sigue ocurriendo en algunas personas. L aprueba ultrasensitiva de PCR es mas que suficiente para descartar la infeccion.
