Pls can anybody explain me is 5 weeks conclusive or if i must wait 3 months for accurate result?sorry but i need to know
5 week test is conclusive. Where is am the lancents are single use as it's a spring mechanism. Once it has been use, it is impossible to reset it.

I tested negative at 5 weeks,
4th generation test ag/ab,
Cdc recommended to test at 3 month-mark, why they are so conservative?or this 3 month is outdated?
Thank you guys on your answers .

It is extremely unlikely that a lancet is reused at a drug store counter. Hardly any probability in my humble opinion. You are freaking out without a valid reason. However if you are too worried, get yourself tested anytime now, collect your conclusive report and move on with your life
