Thanks for the update and happy to hear you are negative. If this is 3 months past your last exposure you are in the clear and considered conclusive.
Thank you everyone. the results came back negative. i will never trust Oraquick again
BTW, you start your post "dear Dr ", FYI I'm no Dr, just a guy who was careless and went through a hell of a time and learned things I never imagined I would. It has been some time since the Drs here were active on the forums. If I gave wrong information to you, fellow members would have corrected me.
Keep in mind any current antibody only test has a 3 month window period to be considered conclusive. Always use a condom to avoid the regret you mentioned. I thought perhaps you had a recent experience that caused you to check your status. I'll pray for you,
Thank you for your response. I am concerned because i wouldn't like to experience regrets for the rest of my life and also it's annoying and abusive, especially when those you hang around with know that you have HIV. Pray for me.
Sry I can't find my Oralquick instructions but I do remember it is a 20 minute test. Same as blood test, you are not to consider results past the time the manufacture has specified for reading results.
Antibodies from another cause has been known to cause a false positive but to what you are specifically asking I don't have the knowledge to answer.
A blood test at a clinic without giving your name ( if you are wanting to be under the military radar )may be a better option following your oralquick experience.
Why are you concerned with HIV?
