Oraquick
Thank you so much for your response on my previous question it's greatly appreciated!!! My main concern was with the reliability of the oraquick in home oral swab test !!! But with three negative test surely they are accurate? And with her telling me her last sex was four months prior to mine. Then she was tested as we'll so she said !! And was negative.. But with your response I believe I can get this behind me now.. My wife will be happy !!!!
Thank you so much for response you have helped me tremendously!! Gave me a piece of mind , now I can focus on wife and kids again thank you
Yes it was actually 16,16,17 weeks and I followed directions , swab gums once don't eat or drink thirty min prior to test and wait twenty minutes for results .. So I'm good??
The "C" line is the control line that tells you that the test is good and that the pad collected enough oral mucosal transudate to obtain a valid test result.
An Oraquick home swab test is almost (almost) impossible to screw up. The instructions are clear. The "C" line is a built in safety feature that tells you the test has run it's course and has detected other cells in the oral mucosal fluid, it is not just a confirmation of capillary action of the test stick.So, the only thing you need to worry about is if you took the test at least 12 weeks post possible exposure.
If that is the case then you do not have HIV.
