Hi,
29 days ago i had unprotected intercourse that put me in a hiv risk. Today i just had a 4th generation HIV test done with negative results. Is this conclusive? I asked the volunteers and they told me that I still need a confirmation test 2 months later(3 months). Please help!

4th generation test guidelines were not implemented until June 27th of this year in the US. and to this date the guidelines have not been clarified.
