What Is The Accuracy Of The HIV 4th Generation Duo At 4 Weeks Post Exposure?
I had a couple questions regarding HIV testing. What is the accuracy of the HIV 4th generation duo at 4 weeks post exposure and the insti rapid antibody test at 6 weeks post exposure? I tested negative on both these tests but I am still worried that they missed something? Would you consider these tests to be conclusive or would you recommend a re test?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is a good news that you have a negative result of 4th generation and rapid test. You should know that a 4th generation HIV test after 4 weeks from exposure is very accurate but according the recommendations you should do a 4th generation HIV test after 3 months as a conclusive test.
I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
