Can someone explain the difference? If there is a test that gives
results immediately, why would one go to a test that only works
6 months after exposure. The only thing I can imagine is that the
6 month test is more reliable and/or accurate. Please enlighten
me and the other non-medical types on this list.
Thanks,
