elisa test question at 6 weeks

hello doctor

firstable excuse my english but i'm french!!!!!!!!

i've ha d a vih test 6 weeks after my vih exposure but only a third generation test which search only antibodies not an 4th elisa test with p24 antigene search
i know that we have a 95% reliability of the test a t 6 weeks but my question is could we have this reliability with only a third generation elisa test??
i know that  a few people could have antibodies later about at 2 months and after ...... and i'm afraid to be this kind of peole!!!!!!

The studies between 3rd and 4th generation ELISA tests show that their is no real difference except for the price.
