It looks like in France mostly Elisa 1 and 2nd generation tests are still being used. Does anybody knows what's the reliability of these tests after 8 weeks.

Thanks

I just spoke to the GMHC. I would highly recommend calling them instead of the CDC scare group. 1-800-nyc-aids.
The counsoler told me that at 6weeks the test is 95¬curate and 99.9% at 3 months. I don't know if that was 1 or 2 he was speaking in general.
