Just to know about window period using HIV 4th generation combo test

Yes, it would be conclusive. HIV testing accuracy and timing has no relationship to the risk.

Thank you so much and apologies for asking by proxy. Now it’s my own interest to know on window periods. What’s the minimum window period for a combo 4th generation HIV Test? Thank you again for your previous answer.
28 days. From your history here, though, it doesn't sound like you have ever had a risk for HIV.
What was your risk? anal vaginal or oral and did you use a condom?

He didn't have a risk either?
