All tests are conclusive at 3 months post exposure. There are no tests marketed or sold to give a conclusive negative test result earlier than 3 months post exposure.

An RNA is 99.6% at 2 weeks, a DUO is 99.89% at 4 weeks and an antibody test is 100% at 3 months.

Are this tests still in use?

You should look for a lab with 4th generation HIV tests if you want to be sure.
