OraQuick Rapid HIV test at 84 days

by ohno76, Nov 17, 2008 11:02AM
Hello and Thank you to anyone who can assist me.

I was involved in Protected insertive anal until the condom broke at the end. As well as unprotected insertive oral.
My partner is also a male and states that he is negative but I have reason to believe otherwise.

I was very apprehensive about testing over the past 3 months. Today I finally worked up enough courage to go to my local clinic. I was tested with the Oraquick Advance Rapid Hiv test. Today it is 84 days post exposure or 12 weeks exactly. Can anyone tell me if this sufficient enough time to have recieved my Conclusive /Confirmative results.

The test was Negative. The clinician said that 84 days is enough time because the test is highly accurate at 12 weeks. But now I worry that I should have waited 90 days or even 6 months......can I rest easier knowing that I tested negative at 84 days?

Please Advise...... Thank you
