Western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) are widely used in the protein detection (Savige, 1998). The name of Western blotting, it is also called Western blot. ELISA is the abbreviation of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Ma and Shieh, 2006).
The Western Blot is a confirmatory test, usually done as the second level of screening for an initial HIV positive result. Given that your blood tested HIV-negative on the western blot, this means that your initial test was a false positive. If you need more peace of mind, you may want to get retested just in case. HIV tests are anonymous and free at many clinics and health departments.
