And am i in the clear ive never experienced much symptoms except for the white patches in mouth but i am a smoker and i took amoxicillin after the blood test

Hi,
Though it's conclusive but for reassurance a test may be repeated after 12 weeks again and only ELISA testing will be sufficient and no need of PCR at the moment. If negative no further testing may be needed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
