Hello and welcome in "Ask a Doctor ".
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You should know that NAATs test can detect antigen and it is accurate (90% of NAATs are positive ) 12 days after a person gets HIV, and it is very conclusive after 6 weeks.
Usually, I suggest to do a 4 th generation HIV test after 3 months from a risky exposure as a conclusive test.
