I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. All tests have a window period, which varies from test to test. It also depends on the specimen that is being tested: window periods are usually reported based on a sample of blood plasma, but are longer when the specimen tested is fingerprick blood or oral fluid.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. I'm going to describe both the 3rd generation elisa test and the 4th generation duo test for you. The elisa test looks for antibodies in your blood that your body develops in response to an hiv infection. The window period is the point from first infection until the test can reliably detect antibodies in the blood. For the elisa test this window period is 4 weeks to 3 months. A 4th generation test like the one you took, also known as a duo or combo test, looks for both antibodies and p24 protein antigens. The p24 antigens can be detected within the first few weeks post-exposure, so this therefore shortens the window period for the test. Many hiv specialists consider this test conclusive at 6 weeks. This test is not necessarily "better" than the elisa test, it can simply produce more accurate results earlier than the elisa test. Your cmia 4th generation test result is therefore conclusive at 6 weeks post-exposure. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. The window period for a 4th generation antigen/antibody test is about four weeks. By this time 95% of infections will be detected (see figure 7). There is a three month window period after exposure, for the confirmatory result to detect more than 99.9% of infections.

lybrate-user, your antibody test is negative. But there is window period for 1 to 10 year, where only antigen is present but no antibody in case of hiv. So better to check for hiv antigen. And I hope you will be negative. Don't worry every sex workers are not hiv positive. And you also used double condom. So no need to worry. Just check it before marriage.

The window period is the time between hiv infection and the point when the test will give an accurate result. During the window period, a person can have hiv and be very infectious but still test hiv negative. The window period for a 4th generation antigen/antibody test is about four weeks.
