Hiv testing question

[cman1982]

I am a little confused at all the numbers people give about when to test. Some say 3 months others say 4 to 6 weeks others say 6 months.

I have been told a duo p24 antigen/ antibody test at 4 weeks is a sure thing and most conclusive. If that is true then why does everyone say 3 months or 13 weeks or 6 months?

6 weeks will give you a good indacation of your status and its unlikely to change at 3 months, 3 months is when you need to test, 6 months is old news
