tridot test accuracy

hi.
i had possible hiv exposure 3 months ago.. i tested  result came nonreactive. it was a tridot(immunochromatography) test.
the lab technician said its a very accurate test also said this is 4th generation test and it can find antibody after 2 weeks of the exposure no need further test

1) is tridot is a 4th generation test?
2)how accurate this test?
