Testing accuracy.

How confident should I feel about a negative result after 8 weeks with a 4th Gen ag/ab test? Most people say after 4 weeks, it's pretty much a slam dunk. But when I asked at the clinic, I was hearing all sorts of 6 months talk. Do I really have to wait 6 months?

Ok ty. Don't know why they told me to come back in 6 months. That really freaked me out.

A 4th generation DUO test at 28 days post exposure is conclusive.
