I'm really worried about the accuracy of the HIV DUO test, specifically the 4th generation test. Is it really reliable if taken 28 days after exposure? I'm struggling with anxiety over this, and I just need some clarity. Can you help me understand how accurate these results might be?

HIV DUO Test (4th generation test) is highly accurate and reliable after 28 days of exposure. It can detect both HIV antigens and antibodies, providing accurate results earlier than previous generation tests. It is recommended to repeat the test after 3 months for confirmation.
