I am going to test a 4th generation hiv ag/ab at 6week. but i am in confusion. some doctors recommending even 6 month to get conclusive on this platform. what should to do?

Some providers have more conservative advice than others, or haven't updated from earlier advice using older tests. Professional (or at least professionally moderated) websites are best -- e.g. public health agencies, academic medical centers, etc. There have been no proved cases of HIV AgAb test taking longer than 6 weeks to turn positive, except following post-exposure prophylaxis (anti-HIV Rx).
