A member asked:
Hi doctor, i repeated a 4th gen hiv test at 48 days and it's negative, is it conclusive? also, on the results from the pathology under "type of test" says hiv-non commercial and then hiv 1/2 ag/ab negative, is it a reliable 4th gen test? thank you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, that is a completely reliable AgAb ("4th generation") test, and all such tests are conclusive when done more than 45 days after the last possible exposure. No exceptions exist other than treatment with anti-HIV drugs.

Hi. How accurate/conclusive is a negative result of HIV RNA (early detection test) taken 4 weeks post exposure? My exposure was pretty low risk as told to me by my doctors. I will obviously be taking other follow up tests as time goes by. Thank you.
