How can antibodies related to AIDS virus?It's look like an easy and funny question to us,a group of graduated high school students. However, a truth in our aspects wouldn't be a guneine truth if we dont looked into it thoroughly.
As we know,we can know the presence of panthogens if there are specific antibodies which against these invaders.However,to HIV it may not work as there is a window period about 3-6 weeks when someone with HIV. Detectable antibodies against HIV can only exist at least 30 days after his or her infection.Thus we cant directly detect the presence of HIV virus by antibodies.Thus some specific assay must be carried out,ELISA test have been an prevalent test to HIV due to its high sensivity.About the instuction use of this test,you can just find the information online(if you are really interested!)as it might be to verbose for me to explain it.Things is not going to be 100% percent perfect,a great disputation against the ELISA test is about its borderline between positive and negative result.Maybe i will be the next biologist who create the most perfect assay and cure for HIV infectors.Who knows...
