How accurate is a 4th gen hiv test immediately after pep completion? 32 days after exposure, 3 days after finishing pep?

Q: how accurate is a 4th gen hiv test immediately after pep completion? 32 days after exposure, 3 days after finishing pep?

: That result is highly reassuring, but not conclusive until about 6 weeks after completing PEP treatment. And some experts recommend a final test 3 months after the last dose, especially if the exposure was truly high risk (like definite exposure such as unprotected sex with a known infected partner).
