at home HIV test

How reliable will a OraQuick Rapid Test be? They say its the same one health care professionals use, this is a mouth swab though. Anytime I've been tested it has been blood.

Also, I had a risky experience 3 weeks ago. The only signs I'm showing is extremely bad mouth ulcers and swollen lymph nodes in my neck. Will this be accurate for my situation?

My question was not about mouth sores. I said my only symptom I'm showing are about a dozen mouth ulcers in my mouth. Is this not a symptom of ARS?

If it is a symptom of ARS, will this OraQuick 20 minute at home test be affective after 3 weeks of potential exposure?

This is not a duplicate post. I've asked about HIV symptoms before, not if the test is effective or not.

Walgreens has a at home HIV test that works in 20 minutes. Is this a reliable product?

I've never asked that question before, I don't know why you flagged it.
