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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The results are usually conclusive at 6 weeks after exposure. The longer duration is to cover rare expectations. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
