If you test any time after 28 days post exposure (which you are) with a 4th generation DUO, the results will be conclusive. You should consider being tested for other STI's as well.

I think I misunderstood. I thought you were asking if it was OK for YOU to test on the 42nd day, not the woman. But yes, it's OK for her to test then as well with a 4th generation DUO. I just don't believe the testing responsibility should be entirely on the woman...….
