There are no tests marketed or sold to give a conclusive negative test result earlier than 3 months post exposure. Yugoslavia uses the BHIVA guidelines.

Post-test discussion
The need for a repeat HIV test if still within the window period after a specific exposure should be discussed. Although fourth generation tests shorten the time from exposure to seroconversion a repeat test at three months is still recommended to definitively exclude HIV infection.

update:
in my country, official window period is two months/8 weeks + if you use Ab test 3rd generation, and 4 weeks if you use Ag/Ab test.

Yes, 3 months post-exposure is recommended by the CDC for a conclusive test result.
oh, it does make sense. but it would be correct to stress that it is in line with CDC guideline.
one question more please,
why do you say three monts is conclusive, when even docs and uni professors here at medhelp.org say that 8 week is conclusive? i have just read their answers even to people who were exposed to hiv+ partners.
it pretty confuse me.
