I'm in similar situation with similar date. As I said earlier, 95% accurate at 28 days (4 week) , 99.9% accurate at 3 months...
everyone is different.
you should expect another negative
I will do so but would the science of these test, make it safe for me to say I can expect another negative result.
well my counselor said it was great news but did the spheal about retesting in 3 months. but my primary care doctor said test are accurate after 2 weeks nowadays so I'm torn....
is it really still 95% at 4 weeks though or is it in fact higher accuracy

if this test does not pick up the antigen at 28 days it would pick up antibodies even at a low level. Did you ask your testing counselor
Hiv test shall be taken at 28 days ,6 weeks ,8 weeks and 10 weeks that will be very reassuring ! up to 99%
4th gen at 28 day is 95% accurate. But conclusive at 12 week.
