A member asked:
Is rapid hiv method cmia is generation 4 or generation 3?, i ask my laborant but they didnt know, they just tell me that hiv test using 3 kit if the first + they go for 2nd kit, if negative like my test they stop the test and the result is negative?

It's third generation, but it probably doesn't matter. After 8 weeks since the last possible exposure, third and fourth generation tests are equally accurate. And the dual rapid test system in use in some geographic areas (like some countries in Southern Africa) is 100% conclusive.
