false negative or postive

Tested by oralquick blood negtive at week 8. But 3 days later first test weakly positve by oralquick rapid swab and second confirmation of the orquik rapid swab came back to negtive. Received negtive report. But scared possible false negtive. Is this a false positive or false negative.

Hi all. Just got my 16 weeks home access reuslt. Negative! I was stress to death on the false positve oralquick rapid test. I was living the the dark for one month thinking that false positive was actually true positive because it was in week 9. I hate this kind of unreliable oralquick. Even it was confirmed as "false" positve right way still put much pressure on us. Glad I read dr hhh's post on "6-8" week vitual 100% reliable to support me to go through these darkness days.Thanks god the family responsiblity helped me to face the darkness. I will not put my self in such situation any more. Do not trust oralquick if you had positve result with very faint line! be faithful and repeat the test right away!

Sounds like a false positive. Take a regular blood test when you retest, not oraquick

sounds like the second one was a false positive, which is NOT all that unusual on a rapid test.

insertive oral and top however,noted the condom slipped off half way (head was covered) after pulled out. It seems very very low risk. was confident until one "false" positive. Do not understand why second one came to negitive while 20 minues ago weakly reative.
