A member asked:
Hiv duo combo test after 6weeks conclusive? then why some says take another test after 12 weeks or 3month? its giving lot confusions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, conclusive. Many doctors don't understand the difference between older and newer (AgAb, duo, combo) HIV tests; and others just take a hyper-conservative stance.
