Here's my story...
Okay so gave and received oral sex and tested negative exactly 12 weeks later. I understand that oral is a very low risk. Can someone please help me because i didn't wait exactly 3 months (13 weeks) to get tested. And also, the test was a Uni-Gold rapid test. Are these reliable? The nurse gave me my results in about 4 minutes.. is that normal? Im still very anxious about the whole situation.
one more thing, is 15 weeks too late for ars symptoms that last a day? Includes a low fever and the chills
Thanks teak. It may have been 10 minutes but i was too nervous which made time seem shorter. But was 12 weeks definately conclusive? 13 weeks is really 3 months. thanks again
You didn't have a risk but the test should have been read as follows:
Allow 10 minutes from the time of wash solution addition for reaction to occur. The result should be read immediately after the 10 minute incubation time. Reading test results earlier or later than 10 minutes may give erroneous results.
