So you all say to move on and I will. So I am completely safe to continue safe sexual practices or should I test at a clinic? Thank you for all that you experts do here.
The control line showed up and no other line. Just checking seeing that sometimes it says there can be false negatives
You didn't have a negative line show up? Did you bother to read the instructions. You never had a risk from oral sex to begin with.
Ok so if the negative line showed up and no other line that means I did the test correctly? Just need to know that I do the test correctly.
3 months, not 6 is the correct info.
You are good to go and don't need anymore testing!

I'm sorry you were given incorrect information. As you were advised your Oraquick home test was conclusive at 3 months.
My OraQuick In-Home HIV test results were negative. Now what should I do?
If the result on your OraQuick In-Home HIV test is negative, you should be aware that an initial negative does not mean that you absolutely do not have HIV. You could be in what is called the "window period." The window period is when a person has been infected with HIV, but HIV tests cannot yet detect the infection. This is because it can take up to 3 months for a person's body to make enough antibodies (infection-fighting cells) to trigger a positive test result. So, if you engage in risky behavior, it is always a good idea to test regularly.
This is from the website. 3 months is conclusive.

Teak I am going with you on this one. Be_strong why would it not be conclusive? Just curious why the FDA would approve it if it wasn't conclusive?
