In Home Oral Swab Test Accuracy

[apr2014]

After a high risk exposure, I have taken 3 in home Oraquick Oral Swab HIV tests. These were taken at 3 months, 4.5 months and 6 months following the exposure. There is a lot of information floating around concerning these tests and how they can produce false negatives and may only be 92% accurate. Do I have any reason to doubt my 3 negative results well outside the window period. Would it be even remotely possible to have 3 separate false negative results?

Anytime from 3 months on and the home test is conclusive It is never conclusive earlier than 3 months.

Thank you, this was a one time thing and there were no other incidence between the exposure and all 3 tests out to 6 months. Only questioned it because the CDC and FDA have on their website that 1 in 12 can be false negative even after window period. Even if there was a chance that the 3 month test was a false negative I would assume that the 4.5 and 6 month tests would not be. It seems extremely unlikely to me but just thought I would ask to set my mind at ease.

If your last unprotected sex was 3 most prior to testing then your test results are conclusively negative. There is no reason not to accept your negative test results.
