After getting ARS How long it will take to come 4 generation HIV test positive
Dear sir if some one have ARS after 12 days and he/she do test from gum NHS clinic 4 generation after 28 day and get negative result what it mean, is he/she need to do test again or he/she is ok and do not have HIV ? Please reply
Incorrect. If a P24 is positive it is then checked with an antibody test then with a confirmative test.
If p24 antigen is detected then the test is positive and will be confirmed with a WB just like anyother positive HIV test.Didn't you mean to say p24 can't give a conclusive negative result.
He can test negative until his body has created enough antibodies for the test to detect.
No one knows if their symptoms are related to ARS until they are tested and have a confirmed positive result. Then their symptoms can be related to ARS.
Thanks for your reply, Please tell me is gum clinic do p24 test, I am going again tomorrow for test after 6 weeks, which test I should do , I am too much worried, really appreciate you reply.
Move on and that is not what the GUM clinic says.

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.
