As our members have stated, based on the guidelines that we use set forth by experts we rely on for accurate information, you have tested conclusively.

I am going to agree with you that there's lot of information available on the internet. FYI, in medical science; you must know that nothing is 100%. Also, different people will have different point of view, no official body or agency would like to take responsibility in dotted lines if something turns out to be unfortunate that might happen due to numerous factors. Hence, there is a lot of conservative information provided all around. However, we could understand some practical information based on studies and observation to arrive at a decision today.
In case of infection, p24 antigen becomes detectable at approximately 10 days post exposure, peaks at about 16 days and then it fluctuates over the rest of the course of infection. Usually, after detectable amount of antibodies are formed the p24 antigen is no longer detected.
Average time to sero-convert is 21 days (3weeks). A week following sero-conversion, detectable amount of antibodies are almost always formed. Hence, at 28 days (4 weeks) most people that contracted the virus will start testing positive on a third generation antibody test.
A IV Gen test (p24 ag + III Gen AB Test) is an antibody and antigen sandwich that is recommended at 28th day for best result because if you have sero-converted, the antibody part of the test will yield a positive result. Or, if you are in delayed process of sero-conversion the p24 antigen part of the test will detect the antigen.
Therefore at 6 weeks, if you were actually infected antibodies must have been detected. Unless, you are on chemotherapy or had an organ transplant or some part of your body was amputated lately, you have no reason to worry about delayed sero-conversion and testing out to 12 weeks.
Dr.HHH - MD, an HIV expert that used to post here, has helped a lot of people across the globe, has expressed that at 4th week a IV Gen HIV test is at about 98% accurate and at six week it is conclusive. Personally, I am yet to see a 6 weeks negative changing ahead, haven't seen it in last 10+ years - not even one.
Hope this helps you. Good Luck.
I answered that on the thread that you hijacked.And the reason we ask about your risk is 95% of posters had no risk but don't believe it.
