Welcome to the Forum. You need not be concerned. Your results are reliable. In order to be approved for use, the OraQuick assays must pass the same sort of performance standards as the other, lab based tests. Soon after these tests were released there were reports that they were not as sensive as the standard tests. These reports, which still persist on the internet are wrong. Since the Oraquick tests have become available, there have been further studies that show that the performance of the OraQuick tests are just as reliable as the lab based tests, verifying the tests performed for FDA approval. My advice is to not worry and to stay off the internet. EWH
there should be no need for me to repeat myself. Please see above. EWH
So am I allowed to be 100% confident in my result? Based on my info.
Yes, the OraQuick assay is just as god as the standard ELISA test. It had to past the same level of testing and perform equally withthe ELISA tests to be approved by the FDA and this has been shown repeatedly by studies. EWH
Hey before you go, im not trying to pester you but I just want to ask , so would you say this test just as good as taking a standard lab test such as ELISA or Western Blot? Sorry I forgot to send this to you personally.
