I've been tested 4 times for HIV since Aug 07: Aug 30, Sept 10, Oct 9, Oct 29. If I were infected, it could not have happened after Aug 11/07. All four test results showed reactive ELISA but indeterminate (or weakly reactive) Western blot. On this basis, my doctor has diagnosed me with HIV. On Dec 11, I was tested again for confirmation, but I have not yet received those results. If a person is infected with HIV, is it possible that a Western blot result can be indeterminate/weakly reactive beyond the 3 month window period? My doctor said that in my case the Western blot may always be weakly reactive. Is that possible?

Mine was "mildly reactive" with the Western Blot when I was diagnosed in May.
Then I got my Vl and CD4 (350/ 40k) and I was pretty poz.

Well, it's possible but your VL is very low ...actually its really low. It could be that there isn't enough antigen to induce a response that will show up on a WB. However, you appear to have tested positive by WB and ELISA and Viral load. You should be discussing that with your doctor.
