[Question #11296] About hiv transmission and hiv tests ?
15 months ago
|
Sorry for my second question. I went to the hospital for routine blood tests. During blood tests, I saw drop of blood inside the just plastic vacutainer holder. Afterwards, I had an HIV Cmia test for 58 and 82 days. I had a hiv elisa test on the 105th day. Is it infected with HIV in this way? Are my Hiv tests %100 conclusive?

Welcome back to the Forum although I don't understand why you felt the need. I reviewed your earlier interaction with Dr. Handsfield and agree with all he said. Regarding the drop of blood you saw, he said -"A previous person's blood inside a vacutainer holder cannot contaminate your blood entering the specimen tube. And if somehow someone else's blood were mixed with yours, the only possible problem would be to make your test falsely positive. Your negative test results are valid and correct. You do not have any of the infections for which you were tested."
I agree with this. The drop of blood in no way changes the reliability of your test results. Your tests are conclusive. You did not acquire HIV and your tests prove this. There is no need for further testing. You have proven you do not have HIV with 100% reliability. EWH

Blood in the plastic tube cannot infect a person who is having blood drawn with that hold. There is no reason for concern. Please don't worry. EWH---

I understood that you met the plastic holder. as explained by Dr. Hansfield, and now myself blood in the plastic holder used to draw blood for testing cannot lead to infection in person whose blood is being drawn. There is no risk.
This is the final response to your repetitive questions. Your results are conclusive, you do not have HIV, and there is no need for further testing. EWH.
