How conclusive is a 30 days fourth generation duo combo hiv test? it came back negative i've read on some sites doing that test is conclusive and on other sites it's inconclusive

It's conclusive: It's pretty much impossible to have HIV for 4 weeks or more and have a negative combo test. Persons or websites saying otherwise are either not up to speed in their knowledge or are providing hyper-conservative advice.
