HIV test confusion

Hi All,

4th Gen ( HIV Ag/Ab) test done at 28 days post exposure will give conclusive results ? If yes , why hospitals are asking us to do the test in 3 months or 6 months?

Why i am asking , you said so many times for me , i have no HIV/STD risk , now i started believing all because of anxiety also i have taken anti depression pills. now i am Ok , for many people even they have NO RISK ,suffering from anxiety very much , at least after 28 days if they did this test , they will get relieve from anxiety.

Correct me if i am wrong.
