Fourth generation: The fourth generation HIV test is recommended for patients who were on PEP. Fourth gen. has better accuracy than earlier generation tests. A specialist is not needed unless that is the only path to getting a fourth generation test. Read: https://www.aidsmap.com/about-hiv/how-accurate-are-fourth-generation-combination-tests-hiv-diagnosis
