window period

I have taken a big risk some weeks ago.

I have made a test in Asia where I live.
The test is the test of Bayer ( Advia Centaur HIV1/O/2)

I do not knowm anything about this test ( in Europe, we use only Elisa)

WHAT IS THE WINDOW PERIOD FOR THIS TEST?

Thank you

Actually the Advia Centaur HIV 1/o/2 test is approved by the FDA.

Hi Teak, I had my test done through tstd.org, and on Labcorp's result sheet, it says they used HIV 1/o/2 test as well. This is not FDA approved? Should I not rely on my 7 and 13 week negative test?
