Oraquick test

I took the oraquick test about a month ago and it came back negative. I read online that it has to be swabbed on the gums and cheeks for 3 minutes. Nobody told me this and I only did it for about 20 or 30 seconds. I don't even know if I did it right. Anyway my question is can the test be done incorrectly and do you have to do it for 3 minutes or can I count on my negative result?
                Thank you!

no you dont have to swab for 3 minutes.

if you had a risk and tested at 3 months post exposure...then your test was conclusive.
