The 4th generation HIV test should be read between 10 and a maximum of 20 minutes after performing the test. Within this time frame, the test antibodies and p24 antigen can react sufficiently to provide a reliable result.
It is important to emphasize that reading the result after 20 minutes is not reliable, as the test can even change. Therefore, it is crucial to stay within the specified time frame for the most accurate interpretation.
If you have any questions about reading the result, please consult the test instructions or contact us for advice.
