OraQuick and water 25 min prior

VL1
I had unprotected sex with a not so great girl 9 weeks ago. I haven’t had any symptoms but i have been freaking out. So i got the OraQuick test and had a sip of water 25 min prior and the test came out NEG. should i take this as a Neg result and move on or would the sip of water 25min prior affect the outcome.

Oraquick isn't conclusive until 3 months but duo is after 28 days. You need to test again, and follow the Oraquick manufacturer's instructions.
