A member asked:

What is 4th gen hiv test? is this the same with the hiv pcr?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Both are good: The fourth generation tests assay both for an antibody and an antigen and will pick the infection up almost always by 30 days, actually less. PCR is gold standard and quantitates the amount of the virus to monitor therapy.
