A member asked:
Had a 4th generation hiv test after 40 1/3 days and after exposure which came back negative. do i need to retest after 6 weeks or i am ok with this test? thks?

Probably OK without further testing. The test might miss up to 1% of infections at 40 days. If you were at truly high risk (e.g. unprotected anal sex with a male partner, a known infected partner not on treatment, etc) it would be a good idea to retest after 45 days.
