Completely untrue. 4th generation tests are conclusive at 6 weeks according to the CDC and 4 weeks according to most experts.
Even 3rd generation test should be able to pick 95% of the infection at the 6 weeks mark. They will be fully conclusive at 12 weeks.
Late seroconversion is an urban myth.

I know that but what make me scared that I had pcr + result . But I followed it with 4th generation elfa test and 2 rapid test they were negative
Irrelevant... If you had a 4th generation test done at week 6 or more, you cannot be HIV+.
