No it doesn't make a difference the antigen part is only good up to about 28 days after possible infection. After that the antibody is the test needed.
3 months conclusive

Hi I called up the clinic they said its a architect test for antibody only and not p24 antigen.
Does that make any difference?
Is it still conclusive?

In my architect test result it was mentioned
Hiv 1 antibody non reactive
Hiv 2 antibody non reactive

Is architect a duo test?
If so why nothing is mentioned about p24 antigen.

I am confused please advice

As far as I am aware it is a reliable 4th generation test. The time you took it is also the proper and the result is conclusive.
