A doubt about chemiluminescence

I have a simple doubt. The Chemiluminescence Test could be considered a 4th generation test? In other words, it looks for p24 antigen and antibody?

Thank You very much

3 months post-exposure is conclusive.A negative DUO at 4 weeks is a great result but not conclusive.

You should be posting your own thread.  You have a better chance of getting replies that way, instead of posting to someone else's thread.

I will tell you that while ANY negative result is reassuring, ANY test you take will need to be followed up at 3 months post exposure as per the official guidelines.

Thank you for answering but I think you misunderstood. I was at risk. I am not the same person who Teak said was not at risk, I only asked about testing, I never mentioned what my situation or risk level was.

Teak probably told that guy he wasn't at risk because Teak is familiar with his case and probably heard the guy explain the situation on another post.

So can anyone answer about this particular test?
