p24 antigen testing may be used to help diagnose early HIV infection. Levels of p24 antigen increase significantly at about one to three weeks after initial infection. It is during this time frame before HIV antibody is produced when the p24 test is useful in helping to diagnose infection. About 2-8 weeks after exposure, antibodies to HIV are produced and remain detectable in response to the infection, making the HIV antibody test the most useful assay to diagnose an infection.

Key words are "may be".

"Why we are waiting 3 months"...your exact words.
My answer to your exact words. Testing for antibodies is the only 100% conclusive method for testing and has been approved for a conclusive result at 3 months.
