HIV tests

Does any one know what generation or what type of test is a HIV 1 & 2 + P24ag By MEIA? How many fricking different types of tests are there out there and how the hell do you know which ones are the best?

Its a duo test (4th generation) which looks for antigen and antibody both, A test taken at 3 month post exposure is best and conclusive irrespective of any generation.
