¿Necesario repetir prueba?

Hola Doctor José,
Hace 15 semanas tuve una relación de riesgo, a las 9  semanas y 14 semanas me realicé dos test HIV Duo Ultra, a través de la técnica Elfa, dando negativo en ambos.
Es necesario repetir la prueba. Mi único síntoma al momento es lengua saburra.
¿Qué opina usted?

Your doctor is behind times on HIV testing.

  In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results

OK, so not one more test. Sorry, In Mexico and Latin America there are doctors who diagnose the window of six months.
One last question: For my test, what generation is it?
Thank you very much, again

My doctor recommended I take out other test for six months because of the risk I had, What do you think?
Another question, what is the test generation?
