OraQuick Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test

[GAD740]

I would like to ask if the OraQuick Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test is a DUO test?

If it is, then it should be 99% reliable after 4 weeks right?

If not, then I should get re-tested at 3 months for ultimate confirmation?

My doc tested me with this at 3 weeks with this test and asked me to return at week 5-6 for another of the same test. Is this reliable enough? The test states that it would get results in 20 mins. But my doc told me within 10 minutes that I was negative. I do not know how this test work, but I'm afraid he might have been careless.

Both of you take it to the HIV Anxiety Support Forum. Neither of you had an exposure.

What is the window period for this test?

You didn't look and you didn't need the test to begin with.

I just wanted to know if it was a DUO test? Cause I couldn't find any answers elsewhere.
