Hi, antigen and antibody composite test/combo test/duo test/instant duo/insti duo is a fourth generation advanced testing technique where the window period is lessen down to 28 days. This test gives fairly accurate results which are conclusive. Generally 30 days is a good period to wait and get tested. 28 days is the standard time and results are conclusive after 4 weeks.
