Hi,
Generally window period for 4th generation HIV test is 18-45 days. Hence, results on 13 & 31 days may not be contributory. You should take this test again on 45 day. By this period 99% of the positive cases should show up in this test.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
