possible to get neg oraquick and + elisa?

by crazyinmyhead, Apr 16, 2007 12:00AM
received unprotected cunnilingus 5 months ago....
tested last tuesday with elisa...results not in yet. (Lab said they'd only call if test comes back + or indeterminate...now I'm scared to death everytime my phone rings.)
tested the following day, Wednesday, with oraquick finger stick....negative. Now I'm concerned about a false + or indeterminate elisa..can't mentally handle it. Is this possible if I've tested negative with oraquick?  
also have read A LOT of contradictory things on oral sex and transmission........would be nice to get this cleared up.

Received unprotected cunnilingus --> NO RISK

Testing was not required

If oraquick's yeilded a negative , it is negative

No risk from unprotected cunnilingus?  or low risk?
if you're saying zero risk whatsoever, there are a lot of websites that have wrong info posted.....
thanks for your quick response to my original post :)

Okay, you have to understand this

Practicaly, NO risk

Theoritically, very very very low risk

How many people have you come across(read about) acquiring HIV through an incidence like this?

If you find out the answer of my question,I'm sure you'd agree to my point "NO RISK"

In my opinion, thats incredibly irresponsible of them to say that they only call if the results are positive or indeterminate. Results should only be given in person by a doctor, whether positive or negative, those are the rules in British Columbia where I live. I feel terrible for you, you must be just going nuts every time the phone rings. If you ever get a test somewhere else, you should go to a more responsible clinic.

Cunnilingus = NO RISK

Anything can happen in theory, but in the real world of HIV transmission it just doesn't happen that way.

And stop being afraid of the phone. Next time it rings run to it so you can get your negative result and move on with your life. You are really worrying over nothing.

your negative hiv oraquick is very reliable. your negative.
however, oraquicks have a high rate of false positive, not the elisa standard blood test.  dont worry, your results wont come out positive.
plus as everyone stated, receiving cunnulingus risk is remote at best.
plus your negative oraquick at 5 mos.
cdc is conservative and state their window is now 3 mos, down from 6 mos.
even if the sites are wrong that cunnulingus is no risk, you still had/have a negative hiv test under your belt. your home free.

hi, So is ther any other home hiv test available in drug stores ?

To: chrisneedshelp
but home access is not 100 % home test, i mean you have to send the a blood specimen to a lab and wait for results. Is it right ?

by Besos, Jan 14, 2008 11:13PM
thank's a lot I think the easykit is totaly home test, but not home acess even it's approved by FDA. My problem is to wait days from results ...
