Elisa window period?
      #139873 - 04/11/05 06:25 AM

Could anyone please help with this question? What is the window period for an elisa test, and then is a negative elisa at week 7.5 and week 11.5 conclusive enough to say i'm negative? i went and did a rapid test at week 13,14 an 17 to make sure and all were negative! Any experts on this?

You are conclusively negative unless you just enjoy testing. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says 13 weeks, 3mo, 93 days so if you tested with a FDA approved test at or after that point you are negative. The people where you tested should have told you that and there is plenty of literature about the testing on the walls at the testing sights, also if you would have read back through past posts here you would have gotten the same answer.
