Had an exposure 4 wks ago want to do hiv 4 th generatin test will it be conclusive n accurate some doctors say yes do u think to early?

HIV testing: This test will be conclusive -- the 4th generation HIV test looks for a piece of the virus (p24 antigen) PLUS an antibody signature (your body's reaction to it). So it is very very sensitive and should tell you what you and your doc need to know. This improved test shortens the window period from exposure to test positivity -so I trust it.
