Hey everyone! So I got myself tested and my test came back negative. I was wondering though, what are the odds of a false negative? I took the oral rapid test at Planned Parenthood. Just curious. Thanks!

ahhh i know!! i am and i was very pleased with my result. they recommended another test in about a month and a half because my most recent sex partner was less than 3 months ago, but our sexual experience was solely oral without ejaculation so i figured the risk was exceedingly low.

No such thing as false negative when test is taken at 3 months or beyond.
