How reliable is Oraquick blood test
Hi everyone, if you read my post yesterday. You can see that I am nervous about my HIV test. I wanted to know how reliable a blood Oraquick test is.
Here is a recap of my story:
Last week I tested negative for the HIV-1 and HIV-2 virus using the oraquick blood test. My last sexual encounter was six weeks prior and I DID use protection. My last sexual encounter before that one was in January and I DID use protection. I've always had sex in one shape or form with a condom. The only time I didn't was with my ex and that was well over a year ago. We would start without a condom but EVERYTIME we would end with one on. In other words we would put one one in the beginning once we started.
Can you all please help me. I'm worried. I might be worrying over nothing but this is serious. I really don't think I could live with this disease and I really don't want to have it. there is a follow up Elisa test that was taken and I'm worried that it might come up positive. I've been praying everyday that I don't have this or ANY disease.
Should I be worried?
