Are antibody tests reliable?
Hi, I had a high risk exposure 2 1/2 years ago and have since had 3 biosure tests and 2 4th gen tests; all done outside window period. I had put this all behind me, but due to ongoing illnesses I started researching antibody tests, and noted that there is a lot of research that indicates that HIV virus can remain undetected for many years despite testing; namely a report by a professor from Harvard University ‘Hastletine’ – albeit this research is now dated, but it did highlight that antibody tests can take years to give positive results in certain individuals. Can you advise please and is this possible with modern testing??
