Most companies don't use the term generations. Most newer tests are given a totally new name. Others such as DUO tests test both antigen and antibodies.
HI there,
At 3rd month after possible exposure, it doesnt matter if it is 3rd or 4th generation test. They are all reliable and conclusive.
Cheers!

no i'm not any of the above. do you know about what their talking about when they say fourth generation elisa. what is that
Are you a chronic IV drug abuser, do you take Chemo, do you take anti-rejection medication for a transplant? If you answer no to those questions then your test result at three months is conclusive.
then why do they say it can take up to 6 months. also i was reading about your children sorry to here that my children's father is an addict and my heart goes out to you
you have a conclusive negative and there is absolutely no reason to test out to six months
