4th generation instant test
Would this test be as accurate as a 4th generation lab test? I have paid alot to take this test soon and am now wandering if negative can I trust the results? The clinic has stated a 99.8% accuracy taken at the correct time. The risk was one time unprotected sex.

In your last post, you stated the sex was protected. Please don't change your story to get different answers. Was this a different event?

OK, wait - I've misunderstood. Sorry. If you're taking ANY 4th generation test, it needs to be at least 28 days after the unprotected vaginal event to be accurate.
Sorry it's the 1st unprotected incident I am refering too. I have made a mistake and booked 27th day would this make a difference? And also is the instant 4th generation test reliable as the lab 4th generation test
