Hello There all ,

I did my 1st oraquick test today and could see the 1/4th faint line on T .. I got panic and brought 3 oraquick to make sure if that is something is correct . rest all 3 do not have any faint lines when tested ..

1) Can I trust the result that I am negative ?
2) Please help me, to understand if this is happened to anyone here in community .

My wife is pregnant and she will be having 1st check up on 6th AUG  which includes HIV .
I am little panic and concern ..please help

Your result was indeterminate, it is not indicative to positive result. Most home testing kits yield such results due to incorrect usage.

Please get tested at or any time after 4 weeks with a standard antibody test or at 12 weeks with home testing kit for a conclusive result.

You risk was low.  Most people without anxiety issues don't even test for such events.

Read this again. Your tests were too early. They are a waste of time. Test again, but at the proper times.  "A duo is conclusive after 4 weeks and any other test (like Oraquick) after 12 so you need to test again at the appropriate time. You should have told your wife before if you have unprotected with her that you had a risk, but if you do a 4th gen now and are negative there is no reason to ever tell her (because knowing that you put her at risk before you knew if you were positive will make her unhappy for no benefit to either of you.)"

Oraquick tests require you to wait 12 weeks which you didn't do. Oraquick is not a duo test.

When was your exposure? False positives do happen and test error by the user is something that can lead to it.  Home tests are 'okay' but would suggest at 28 days, you go and have a 4th generation Duo test.

It was vaginal, but you still need to tell me how long ago it was before the oraquick tests.

it's 8 weeks before ..

Can someone please help ..and share if they had similar experience with oraquick

[AnxiousNoMore]

First, tell what your risk activity was for hiv?

[Check2284]

Unprotected sex with sex worker .. no rash no fever ..

I got to check as my wife is pregnant and wanted to make sure things are fine

[AnxiousNoMore]

Oral, anal or vaginal?
