Neither of these antibody tests actually isolate an HIV virus, but are used as surrogates for any attempt to isolate HIV due to the great difficulty and expense of even attempting to isolate HIV in the bloodstream, especially in an uncultured form. While ELISA and Western Blot tests are often regarded as highly reliable means of testing for HIV, the extent of such reliability has apparently never been properly tested and validated, with the use of isolated HIV in the bloodstream as a gold standard of verification, and with the results published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. As a result, even a positive result on an HIV antibody test does not necessarily mean a patient should be regarded as infected with an HIV virus--let alone that such a patient should be poisoned with deadly toxins such as AZT, which has resulted in the deaths of many supposedly HIV-positive patients.
