Help, how accurate is a 5.5 week home Oraquick Test?

I jumped the gun a little and decided to do an OraQuick Home test at 5 weeks and 4 days. It showed as negative, but I still have a strong feeling I am infected with HIV. I plan to test again at 13 weeks, but how likely is it to change?

I met someone online and performed oral sex on them. So depressed and scared.

Help :(

My mind won't be put at ease until the 12 week test shows negative.

I still feel their a good chance I was infected. I plan to find a clinic that will test for cheap or free at 12 weeks.

Let's not pretend. You had no risk.

Lets just pretend I did have a high risk exposure, would 5.5 weeks be more than 90% accurate? Could the T line be present, but so faint and not visible to the human eye?

It's not and you didn't have an exposure. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.
