5 week Oraquick HIV test
How accurate is an Oraquick oral swab HIV test. I know it is not conclusive, 3 months is. However, how likely is it to change from a negative to a positive at the 3 month mark? If someone was positive how early ( on average) would that individual test positive on an HIV test ?..... I am female, I had unprotected sex and he did not ejaculate, at all if that helps.
I have had a small rash on upper arm since day 24 and it is now day 36, and idk what it is, nothing else however. I tested at the 4 week mark because of anxiety, with the same test and it was negative then tested again at 35 days (5weeks) post exposure with the oraquick oral swab and again it was negative. How often does test results change? How likely is it for my test result to change? Has anyone experienced or seen this happen? I understand 3 months is the official test time, but understand this is a scary time in my life and need a little insight. I plan on testing at 8 weeks to keep the anxiety down, then again at 13 weeks.
Thank you

Okay..... Well, with all your knowledge and experience in this field, how soon does the average person test positive? As well as have you ever seen a negative HIV test change from a negative around 4-6 week to a positive at 3 months post exposure?
Okay, we'll do you have any information about my question I asked in my post? I have read many of your forums before I decided to join, I understand that three months is conclusive, and I will definitely test out at 13 weeks. However, I am not asking for a conclusive answer regarding my 5 week HIV test, just some insight. Thank you in advance.

Then my Oraquick meant nothing? I know blood is more reliable but how often would an Oraquick hiv test change at the 5 week mark?
