Revises CDC guidlines 2014 says that it is conclusive after 45th day, if uses 4th generation combo test
Brief Answer:
false negatives still exist
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back.
The number of false negatives decrease as the duration exceeds 45 days. Hence more reliable in later days. And the false negatives fall almost to nil after 12 weeks.
