Oral rapid test help!
I was recently tested for hiv by a rapid oral test from a clinic about a day or 2 ago. It has been well over 10 weeks since I was possibly exposed. I havent been with anyone since then for fear of spreading anything I might have, but thanks to the test I took the other day, Im relieved to say that it came back negative. To be absolutely sure about the result I will go back in a few weeks for a conclusive result because im still in the window period. However, my question/s- How acurate is the result from the test I took the other day and what are the odds of my result being different in about a month? Is my current result pretty solid?-thanks
My exposure risk was high. and I was making myself believe I had the virus for several weeks. the negative result is what's keeping me sane. Im going to get tested again today. It will be 12weeks post exposure in a couple days from now.
If you did have a genuine risk then that result is just about conclusive however if you want 100% peace of mind you need to test again in 2 weeks.
Not sure what you mean. just what to know if I should be happy with this result of the oral rapid test I took.
