Home Access 2nd Generation Test & WINDOW PERIOD

I took a Home Access Express 1 test at 61/2 weeks.  After emailing the company, I came to find that it is a 2nd generation test.  I wanted to know if this generation of test has the same sensitivity as the 3rd and 4th generations of tests, in terms of being able to pick up antibodies at 6-8 weeks (but I know you have to re-test out to 3 months).  Thank you.

Home access has been proven by the FDA to detect antibodies even at low levels as usually are as early as three to five weeks although you should wait 6 weeks and follow up at 12

At 3 months when you can get your conclusive negative test result they are all equal.
