For another viewpoint, here is what the makers of the AIDS test say

about their test:

The ELISA test is used to screen for antibodies, which

is " confirmed " by the more specific Western Blot. The dilemma cannot

be stated more poignantly than by quoting from the leaflet

accompanying one such test kit:

" The test for the existence of antibodies against AIDS-associated

virus is not diagnostic for AIDS and AIDS-like diseases. Negative

test results do not exclude the possibility of contact or infection

with the AIDS-associated virus. Positive test results do not prove

that someone has an AIDS or pre-AIDS disease status nor that he will

acquire it " .(20)

The reference (20) is: 20 Bio-Rad, 1989.

You might want to think twice before you ever let anyone give you

one of those tests. You might even want to think three times.
