I think you are asking if the "HIV 1 + 2 AB + HIV P24 antigen test" is a 4th generation.

I would say TRUE! based on

AB AG is duo. Are you still testing for the previous exposure you posted about, and if so how long has it been since the encounter before you tested?

I tested for another exposure on January 1st unprotected sex and I tested with this test 6 weeks after. So it’s a 4th gen test right? I jus don’t understand what the CLA means , I got this test done at kaiser.
It's a 4th generation test.  No need to analyze anything apart from that.  CLA almost certainly stands for "clinical laboratory analysis."
Thank you for your answer, would this be considered conclusive?
Yes.  There is no reason to test again for this event.
