testing and window period with 4th gen test

The first examination was in my national reference center aids to my country (GREECE) 25 days after the test fourth-generation antigen-antibody with negative results
then became in the following test
- 28 days in a private clinic again with fourth generation test (hiv ag p24 - hiv ab type1-type2) with negative results
-in 43 days in a private clinic again with fourth generation test (hiv ag p24 - hiv ab type1-type2) with negative results
in 56 days at a private clinic again with fourth generation test (hiv ag p24 - hiv ab type1-type2) with negative results
in 86 days at a private clinic again with fourth generation test (hiv ag p24 - hiv ab type1-type2) with negative results
all test is blood test no stick-rapid test

All agencies of my country that deal directly with the issue of hiv
Saying the following
the fourth generation of the test now uses almost all health services at the window period closes at four weeks
For the simple antibody test third generation are barely longer health services in my country the window  period closes permanently at six to eight weeks

So why in a forum as large as this saying that the window period is three months irrelevant examination methods for the virus;
and make people waiting UNJUST Anxiety
and if the same doctors who writes on this forum they say exactly the same as those listed above

thanks!

do not worry about the results simply are wrong now putting the people to wait three months for effective preparedness in 2013
And I did all this to prove that the result after four weeks to twelve and even say that it was the same with the fourth generation test for the virus
In my country all health services argue that closes the window with the fourth generation test after four weeks with the antibody test simply third generation of the window closes permanently in space in 6 to 8 weeks

thanks.
