oral swab and hiv 2

do the oral swab tests test for hiv 1/2 or just 1?  I am going to be tested by this method this week and am just curious as my anxiety has been through the roof.

at the clinic i'm going to they either send away for an ELISA or do the rapid...they only use the rapid oral swab there or ELISA which will take longer = more stress.

the swab takes about 15-20min. to get a result but the ELISA could take days.
