HIV testing: The 4th generation HIV blood tests are among the most accurate diagnostic tests ever developed, for any medical condition. Your results prove 100% you do not have HIV. The symptoms caused by HIV are the same as in many other conditions. When these tests are done sufficiently long after exposure (4-6 weeks), they overrule all symptoms (no matter how typical) and exposure (no matter how risky).
