LabCorp ICMA HIV Test

Can anyone please enlighten me on how good ICMA testing is compared to 3rd and 4th Generation ELISA testing.
Also, what's the window period for this type of test?
Thank You!

There are a couple of ICMA tests that are FDA approved and they have the same window period as all other HIV tests.
