Hi

I have a question about the Rapid test . I had a rapid test at 10 weeks mark and it was from a USA company but the factory is in china . as in the website they said that they are the first US FDA licensed manufacturer of rapid diagnostic products in China. they also has been awarded GMP certification from the Chinese government (SDA) and also ISO 13485:2003 certified. they have hundreds of millions of rapid tests produced each year to supply worldwide distribution network, supplying hospitals, clinical laboratories, blood banks, and the home user.

but what they the HIV rapid test is still not FDA approved . So Can I trust the HIV rapid test of this company . I heard of many Dr.s here in my contry says that it is very good company and it is well known internationally .

My risk was unprotected vaginal sex with CSW and the last test I had was 10 weeks after the exposure which came back negative ( by the rapid test ).

Also I had 4 weeks Combo Ab/Ag test which was by Abbott and it was negative and I got a very very good relife when I read Dr.HHH said that Combo test is 100% reliable if it was done 4-5 weeks.

Thanks Very Much

It's not FDA approved so no you can't rely on it. There are no tests approved to give anyone a conclusive negative result earlier than 3 months. All tests that are FDA approved  are very reliable. Doesn't matter if it's blood or oral.
