General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The time it takes for converting from negative to positive is called a "window period". This is possible to happen even after 6 months.
If you had a negative 4th generation test after 3 months you are likely to be negative.
Please test again after 6months.
Anxiety/Depression will not affect the test result.
Please in future use protection.
