What is the possibility of the Oraquick advance HIV-1/2 oral swab being wrong?
Here's what happen on 8/21/15 I had sex with a guy. There was a few seconds (like 5 seconds) at the beginning that he did not have a condom on after that he put a condom on. when he go close to finishing he pulled out and finished in the condom. I was not sure of his HIV status and so I was worried and when to a place where they do HIV testing using the Oraquick advance HIV-1/2 oral swab i got tested on 3/8/16 just a little over 6 mouths after the encounter the test was negative. I'm still worried the test may have been wrong. I have not done anything with any one sins then. Also should I get retested?
The penetration was in then quickly out and without the exchange of bodily fluids from him.
Years of study and research has vastly increased the sensitivity of lab and rapid hiv test and has shortened the window period as CurfewX told you.
Yes, anxiety differently can cause a loss of appitight.

thank you. Iv had two people tell me that there was little to no risk and I just wonder why people thought that.
Can I ask why you feel there was probably no risk? and do you feel the test was conclusive? and final do you think a loss of apatite can be from anxiety? sorry for asking I'm just worried
You cannot have symptoms from HIV as you were probably not at any risk in the first place and secondly you have a conclusive result for no HIV. More likely your symptomes are from Anxiety and you may need mental help for that one if you can't let go.

do I need to worry about having symptoms (Im not doing anything with anyone) a few mouths down the rode? or am I completly in the clear as long as I don't have a risk again?
So you think the test was right? sorry for asking I just would like the reassurance
