Will oraquick (in home oral swab) results change.
After a "low" risk exposure and testing negative at about 7 or 8 weeks what would be the chances of the results changing after the 12 weeks.
Hi there. Getting educated is a great idea! That certainly can help with anxiety about a subject. MedHelp adheres to the position of the CDC as well as the input of expert physicians that HIV is only transmitted through unprotected vaginal or anal sex, the sharing of needles, or from mother to child. A 28 day test is considered accurate and conclusive, so if negative then, it should remain negative. And any time someone tests after a non risk exposure, it, of course, will be a negative result. I hope this has eased your mind and wish you the best of health.

Is this the same "risk" that you posted on this forum on Dec 1 where you were told you actually had no risk?
I am just trying to get educated of the chances of results changing after testing negative. I have gotten really interested in this subject.
