A member asked:
Can hiv not show up on a 4th gen test up to a year i have read articles where it sometimes takes a year to show up plz help im really freaking out i have done 4th gen test up to 10 months all negative?

No blood test give you 100% accuracy so we have to trust evidence based practice. If you are otherwise healthy, a negative 4th generation test after 90 days is conclusive. You have nothing to worry; however, you should practice safe sex so you won't have more "headache" in the future. Take care.
