Scary Hiv test situation....
So, today I had an Orasure test taken and after the tester thought it read negative, a very VERY faint line appeared on the test. He had to look at it with a flashlight. He took two more tests that were clear negatives but did the confirmatory test anyway. He and an AIDS specialist friend of mine seem to think this resembles a false positive, but I'm extremely scared. The only conceivably possible exposure was a month ago, but the encounter was EXTREMELY brief and no intercourse was involved (I was a bit drunk, but I'm basically sure this is the case...) Does anyone have any insight into this kind of test reading? I'm so scared....
very likely false positive, as the other tests came negative , since there was no intercorse no need to worry you r safe
