FYI to all you worried well, Just got my results back at 101 days and (-)!!! :-)
I just spoke with one of the top infectious disease doctor's in Oregon and he told me that a negative ELISA test at 3 months or more post exposure is considered NEGATIVE!!! I tested at 101 days post exposure and he told me to not worry as the new tests of today are MUCH MORE SENSITIVE and will detect antibodies within 3 months. I had ALL of the symptoms: painful lymph nodes, joint pain, muscle aches, fatigue, stinging eyes, painful spleen for over 2 months after my exposure and was sure I was infected. He took note of all the symptoms and we tested for every possible disease out there. He was my doc throughout the ordeal and still said, despite the symptoms, that a 3 month ELISA negative IS NEGATIVE!! He told me that stress is a powerful thing and that symptoms from stress can persist for quite some time.. even after you begin to relax.
Just something to calm your fears a bit!!!

I am so glad to hear you negative results! Good luck to you in life! I guess the 3 month test is considered conclusive by your doctor then. Excellent news!
