Q: is negative hiv dna pcr at 17 days & negative 3rd gen. hiv antibodies test at 28 days conclusive? if not, how accurate this tests are by given dates?

: Negative result is good but at this early stage does not rule out HIV infection. Please repeat the 4th gen at 6 weeks after exposure. Visit this site for info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html
