Oraquick accuracy

[Shayke21]

How accurate is oraquick. I took an oraquick test at 26, 50, 64 and 66 days post exposure.

You took 10 tests in 7 months all of which came back negative. Obviously you don't have HIV.

[Shayke21]

Finally got the courage to take a blood test. It was negative. Folks, don't let aniexty get the best of you like it did me. These folks on here know what they are talking about. Searching the internet for answers will almost kill you mentally. I spent countless dollars on multiple test that I did not need. 3 months is conclusive. Much love!!! Peace!!

Took another test at 7.5 months post exposure. Oraquick was the test. Am I good to stop testing? I have taken over 10 test. All negative.

Your 10 days DNA/RNA test is already an excellent indication that you are not HIV+. You could have tested earlier (28 to 42 days) with a duo test and that would have 99.9% (virtually 100%) conclusive.

[Shayke21]

Took oraquick test at 81 and 85 days. Both negative. I'm military and I'm currently away from home on a short notice assignment. I plan on still taking that blood test when I return. Is 85 days accurate enough? Can I consider my self clear?

[LRossi]

Yes at 12 weeks (84 days) is conclusive.

BTW, thank you for your service to your country Sir!

[Shayke21]

Thank you for your support of me while I went through these last 84 days. God bless you guys

Oraquick tests cannot be considered as reliable if not done after the 12 weeks period. The sensitivy of Oraquick is 92%.
After 66 days, why don't you go and do a rapid blood test? It will be reliable and you will have peace of mind...

[Shayke21]

Took another test at 73 days still negative. Dole pains around neck and one swollen non visible node in neck on the right side.

[LRossi]

Again, Oraquick is not officially reliable before 12 weeks (84 days). And even then it is not as reliable as a blood test.
I would recommend you do a rapid antibody test. At 73 days, you will know in seconds if there is an issue or not and can completely close the case.
Symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV.

[Shayke21]

I agree with you. Just scared at what the outcome might be. I know no test is really conclusive until 12 weeks(84 days). I'm just looking for something that gives me a little piece of mind until then.

[LRossi]

This is not true. A duo test (ab/ah) test is conclusive at 28 days according to most experts and 6 weeks according to the CDC.

[Shayke21]

Thank you I don't know that. Still scared. I also took a blood test a 10 days DNA/RNA(non-reactive). My question to you is can stress and anxiety cause symptoms. I scheduled a blood test on the 17 of November(83 days post exposure). I'll post results! Thanks in advance for the help.

Anxiety can cause ALL sorts of symptoms. Anxiety has made me feel more unwell than most viruses have.  It's very powerful.  If you were having HIV symptoms, you almost certainly would have tested positive by now.  Take your test on Nov 17, collect your negative result, and continue with your life.

[Shayke21]

All of my test were negative!

What was your exposure?

[Shayke21]

Condom broke while having sex with a CSW at a sauna/brothel. It was for only about two minutes.

[Shayke21]

Thanks brotha I needed that. God bless you!!
