Window period for 4th gen hiv test???
9 week ago I had sex without use of condom with a strange person. Because my concerns I take a test for p24 antigen at 15 days with no reactive results. I start to feeling sic and very stressful so I wait at 9 weeks and took a 4th generation test for hiv 1 & 2 ab ag p24 by chemiluminicence by taking blood of my vein. The results came back negative.
Is this result could consider conclusive? Or should retest at 12 weeks?

Ok thank you, so the window period its over at 9 weeks should my test at this time will consider 95% or more?
Testing at 12 weeks its only for guidelines pruposes? Or my results may be change at 12 weeks?
