reliability of oral test

[Castroboi21]

Greetings,
I had unprotected sex with another man. I am a 21 year old gay male. He talked me into receiving anal sex. I tested at 3 months with oral swab and tested negative. However,  now I'm worried about so called hiv subtypes...will a rapid test pick this up?

Thank you

You do not need further testing and the tests are just as reliable.

Thanks....I don't need a blood test right...just as reliable

You do not have a concern on the subtypes.

[Castroboi21]

Yeah she opened an ora test...she just worried me when she said there were many subtypes...I questioned and she was unsure :(

[Teak]

No, as long as it was an antibody test.

[Castroboi21]

What kind of blood test?....does it matter that there are so many subtypes?

[Teak]

You have a conclusive test result and do not need further testing.

I don't know anything about tests, but would assume most of them are pretty accurate. Get a blood test to be sure and always use a condom!
