The only reason to take an additional test is if you have had a recent sexual encounter and tested too soon for antibodies to have a chance to be developed.
So I don’t fully know the timing of the other sexual encounter but we can talk about that more when we meet on Tuesday to try to nail down the appropriate date for Western blot testing. I think it’s very good news that you’ve got a negative inhibition assay. We have seen positive ones that are false compared to Western blot
