A member asked:
If we are to put a % figure, how accurate will be 4th gen elisa test for hiv after lets say 4 weeks, then 6 weeks and then 8 weeks?

Why do you ask?: If you are this worried, then you should be willing to ask your physician for a pcr / nucleic acid assay for HIV instead. The modest price you'll probably end up having to pay is nothing compared with the peace of mind it'll bring you. Afterwards, get with your physician ; get some guidance about your generalized health anxiety -- you know you'll benefit from this also.
