Brief Answer:
Newer tests are accurate, conclusive at 90 days
Detailed Answer:
Hello I am Dr Matin and will be happy to answer your questions
1.Test accuracy data at 24 days is not available, but what is known that 4th generation tests are accurate 95% at 4 weeks and 99.99% at three months and that this needs to be confirmed after 3 months with a second test as 5 % of people take this much of time(90 days) to show a positive result and HIV Combo is a 4th Generation Test.
2.An HIV test is considered conclusive at 90 days. By the 24th day a negative result is a good indicator of what to expect at the 90 day mark, but you must go in for the final test at 90 days.
3. Chances of your next test getting changed is extremely low.
Hope this helps. You can always revert with more queries.
