Hiv test at 27 days

hello guys

i live in germany. i took a 4th gen. Antibody and p24 antigen test at 27 days(26days 10 hours) for free in germany. i dont know if it is duo or combo. i asked the man who works there and he didn't know as well. But there were 2 negative on the papier so it's possible to be DUO. and also he said that this test should be taken at 6 weeks

1. Are there any kind of 4th gen. test except duo or combo ?

2. Does it change after 27 days and have you ever seen or heard after 27 change ?

3. i have read sth on internet that 4th gen test is okay at 4 weeks why did he say 6 weeks ?

i am a man 22 years old. i had anal unp. sex only five second. and french kiss, oral sex. with a spanish girl and

17.days- sore throat
25 days- muscle pain
Only the anal was a risk since air kills HIV and saliva also kills it. Your 4 gen was a duo and would have been conclusive at 28 days, so you tested a day early.
Symptoms prove nothing so HIV doctors can't use them to diagnose and neither you nor I can either. There is no purpose for you to be studying your body.
Nothing is pointing towards you having HIV but you need to test since you have passed 28 days. Some doctors are unnecessarily conservative and use 6 weeks, so if you are concerned that 4 is too soon (since you have been reading that) you can wait for 6.
People cough germs on you so sore throat is to be expected plus it is flu season.
thanks for your answer. what is diffrence between 26,27,28 days ?
and also swollen lymph on the right side of my throat
You didn't follow the guidelines when you took the test too early so there is nothing else to say about why it was valueless or about your symptoms again either.
my last question have ypu ever seen şt changed after 27 days

thanks for everthing
Why do you think 27 days is conclusive when the scientists say to use 28?
i have read so many things on internet and my brain is a mess. all i need is correct information. nd i wanna learn something from your exp.
We rely on the opinion of expert doctors and don't pay attention to claims on other sites. If you continue reading you will get more anxious because you can find anything on the internet. I won't repeat my advice any more.
