few people might take up to 3 months to develop antibodies
tats why the guidelines still state 3 months to be conclusive and thats why lizzie and teak told you that as well..its important to be 100% sure

Did you bother to read the UK testing guidelines. 3 months is conclusive for 4th generation tests.

DUO is licensed to use in the UK after 28 days..
therefore, the fact that u tested negative is good news
plus u tested again at 2 months which is better news..
most experts like Dr HHH in the experts forum believe a person who tests negative at 6-8 weeks wont turn positive later..
cheers!

DUO tests like all other tests are conclusive at 3 months post exposure.

Post-test discussion for individuals who test HIV negative
The need for a repeat HIV test if still within the window period after a specific exposure should be discussed. Although fourth generation tests shorten the time from exposure to seroconversion a repeat test at three months is still recommended to definitively exclude HIV infection.

sorry,the conclusive negative is still the 3 months.
im getting all the counting wrong.
Duo test is very accurate at or after 28 days.
but guideline is still 3 months post exposure.
