Home Access accurate as Oraquick?

I see that Dr. Hook stated on his most recent thread that "tests" pick up +ve persons virtually 95-98% by eight weeks. Does that mean those Home Access kits with the lancets would do the same thing?
Anyone with experience know this info.?

so does that mean the same % on assessment as Oraquick reliability?

Both tests are very accurate at 8 weeks. 98% percent sounds about right.

No test is conclusive until 3 months.

How is that so ? 2 months I thought you said teak if you tested neg at 2 months you're in the clear...

You read wrong. Three months is conclusive and you never heard me say any earlier unless someone didn't have a risk and didn't need testing in the first place.
