Hi,

They are 4th generation tests and are very reliable.

Specially the test you have after 4 months, is final and conclusive without any doubt You are OK. You are not HIV+.

The recent discussions on window period seems will continue for a while. Many respectable organizations and doctors have been counting on 6 week for the last few years. 6 week became defacto standart, even many doctors say 6 week conclusive
although they must say 3 month according to CDC.


But you are definetely OK.
