A member asked:
I just took my yearly hiv test and the test was a abbott hivab hiv-1/hiv-2 (rdna)eia what generation test is this and is this a good test ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good test, reliable: CDC and other experts advise moving away from the "generation" terminology for HIV tests. But this test is one that has been called 4th generation and is highly reliable. It proves you don't have HIV, unless exposed and possibly infected in the 4-6 weeks before the test was done.
