Elisa test 2nd generation

Hi, wanna ask if I have a 2nd generation Elisa test for my HIV at the 3rd month after my exposure. Will it be good as conclusive as well? Does the generation of Elisa test affect result?

Will it be 100% negative for HIV if the result came out as negative?

Cause I asked my doctor, he told me it's either 2nd or 3rd generation Elisa test that my country is using. He wasn't sure, so to play safe I'll take it as 2nd generation Elisa test.

Thanks for your reply in advance. Appreciate it.

Sorry but I forgotten to ask which is the modern test? Is 1st generation counted as modern test as well? I'm a little bit confused here.

Thanks.
