Hi XXXXX,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
CMIA 4th generation test for HIV is a Combo test. That means, it detects both the antigen and also the antibody against HIV.
Antigen test detects P24 antigen which is highly sensitive and shows reactivity within a weeks time and more conclusive around 3 weeks. You had done the test twice after 4 weeks and both were shown negative test for HIV. So you are free from HIV and uninfected. Nothing to worry. Further test is not necessary for you.
