Yes, conclusive: The 4th generation HIV tests, which test for both HIV antigen and antibody, detect all HIV infections any time 28 days or more after infection. Official advice and some expert recommendations often play it safe by recommending longer times, but it really isn't necessary. I don't understand your second sentence/question.
