How accurate hiv antibody test after 80 days. Second value increased from .07 to .35.what does means.cut off value 1
Brief Answer:
HIV antibody test at 80 days is highly reliable.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
HIV window period is around 6-8 weeks and it may be in some individuals extended up to 12 weeks. So your negative HIV antibody test at 80 days is highly reliable. But becomes more conclusive around 90 days.
Anything below '1' (cut off) value is negative, immaterial whether it was 0.07 or 0.35. Number has not directly related to intensity of the test anyway. So not to get confused.
