Oraquick In Home Test vs. Oraquick Advance at 29 days

[Gingerbread1974]

So I picked up the in home version of this test and thought it was the same as the advance but I guess it's not. Is one an earlier generation then the other?

I know it's early but I'm at 29 days since potential exposure and it came back negative. Was planning on another test at 6 weeks but wanted to know the difference between the two tests.

Since we already discussed you had no exposure, it would be a good idea to keep thinking about that aspect too. Perhaps therapy would be a good option because it would go to the heart of the problem.

I understand, maybe therapy would be a good idea but for the time being, I'm just wondering the differences between the two tests..

Neither test is approved or advertised to get a conclusive result prior to 90 days post-exposure.  I won't delve any deeper because, as advised, you had no risk and do not need to test.

Ok, I can read the 90 days post exposure on the box also, but as we all know antibodies show up at specific time frames and depending on the generation of the test, some can pickup these antibodies earlier then others which is why I asked about the difference between the two tests.

Regardless of my exposure risk, it's a valid question to ask the difference between the In Home Oraquick and the Advance as far as generation and accuracy.

It would be best if you can to get over this and get back to your normal life, so hunting down more irrelevant information is just a roundabout way of prolonging the needless agony.
