Hey, anyone who is familiar with OraQuick In-Home Test

This is my photo for my test result: http://tinypic.com/r/11hh209/5

I took the test today, which is 101 days (~3.3 months after a sex encounter).

There is only one line, but that Control Line is a little faint compared to the sample on the left, so I have a little worry that if it is because I didn't swab sufficiently.

Is this result conclusive enough?

Thanks, buddies.

I just called the support center of OraQuick and they confirmed me that the faint line is sufficiently accurate :)

Yes and again it doesn't matter, you never had an exposure.

for the record, a single faint line on two separate tests is a validation of negativity, correct?

Yes it is when you have a risk but you didn't so testing was not required.

I still don't know why you got tested as you clearly had no risk.

Great. So your control lines are the same faint as mine?

I had the same concerns, I had a guy I didn't know give me head roughly 4 months ago and since then I have taken 2 Oraquick tests (one about 3 weeks ago and one yesterday) and have had this same result both times, one faint line. It's good to know that I'm not the only one and that the results are valid.
