A member asked:
They say hiv 4th gen duo is between 14-28 days , will it make a difference if i go at 12 days to do test? can it still detect p24 or not?

Black White or Gray: Life is not black and white, but comes in shades of gray... many shades, maybe 14-28 shades of gray. One who worries about these technical details will get the most relief by taking the test in the middle of the recommended range, meaning on the 21st day, halfway between 14 and 28. Follow the primary care doctor's recommendations, and live life safely and wisely.

I'm really confused from my answer. The cdc says a 4th gen hiv lab test is conclusive at 45 days. Do I really need to wait 90 days for a conclusive result?
