is an Oraquick at home 12 week conclusive?

On 10/9 I received brief unprotected oral from a dancer/stripper. I had a full panel std including an Hiv 1/2 and p/24 antigen at 4 weeks. All tests were negative. At 7 (51 days) weeks I had another Hiv 1/2 p24 negative.

I had a Oraquick at home at 81 days and one at 86 days. I've had headaches for the past week, a sore neck, and just got some kind of rash on my bottom 12 weeks after exposure, it may be hemmoroid flare up. I am worried i need to get the full blood tests again and the 12 week Oraquick was too soon. Any advice??

Thanks for your help. The 800 number on the box said i tested too soon, they said 90 days not 12 weeks. I guess if there was no reason to test than its irrelevant.

Hello, firstly you never needed a test as receiving brief, deep, etc oral pleasures are never a risk item for HIV. Secondly, your 4th gen test was conclusive after 4 weeks. Do not worry you were never exposed to a risk. Anxiety symptoms will only grow until you stop worrying.
