Solution

The correct option is A Western blot
ELISA, like the Western blot test, detects HIV antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are proteins that immune system produces in response to the presence of foreign substances, such as viruses. If a person tests positive for HIV on the ELISA test, the provider orders the Western blot test to confirm HIV infection.
