testing time

Why not the CDC just make the window period 8 weeks. I think it is enough ?
Any one knows any area in the world have the window period just 8 weeks ?

I have moved on. I was just telling you that Boston, Rhode Island, and I failed to mention Harvard Medical School consider 6 weeks conclusive.

There are no tests marketed in the US to give a conclusive test earlier than 3 months. Quit pulling up year old posts. You were given your accessment from the Expert forum and it's time for you to move on.

no state and no one should "take it upon themselves" to change the guidelines UNTIL the fda, cdc, and the manufacturers of the tests do so.
