Hello Sir I want to know about the window period of HIV antibody tests. I tested negative after 6 months of the exposure and 1.8 yr of the previous .
As per CDC guidelines hiv window period is 6 weeks, is this applicable for both types of hiv 1 & 2 ? as per my understanding 4th generation antigen is only for hiv 1 and only left with antibody which is recommended to test at 3 months?
