No more testing is needed. Do not believe everything you see online. If you limit your searching to professionally run (or at least professionally moderated) sites -- like academic institutions, health departments, etc -- you will see the consensus about 6 weeks being conclusive. Please stop asking on this forum. Thank you.

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?

HIV) The CDC states that the 4th Antigen and antibody test window period is 18-45 days and the NAT PCR test to be 14 - 33 days. If these tests are taken after the window periods, are they conclusive ? I am confused because some Doctors say 12 weeks?
