6 week DUO or antibody?

Hi there. Just wondering, what one will provide a more accurate read, a DUO taken at 6 weeks post exposure, or a rapid antibody taken at 6 weeks and 8 weeks post exposure? Thank you so very much.

an antibody test at 6 weeks will give you a good indication of your status

Thanks Teak. I know the 3 month is all that matters, but I am just looking for a way to get a little piece of mind, and I was wondering what way would maybe offer that more than the other?

Your conclusive test result will be 3 months post exposure.
