Oraquick/Hiv
I read online that in late stages of hiv the loss of HIV-specific antibodies can lead to false-negative results on rapid HIV tests. Now I am concern that the two oraquick test that Ive taken might have been a false negative and that the one my husband took could have also given him a false negative..My husband had an encounter over 10 yrs ago so we decided to take the oraquick test..but my concern is us waiting as long as 10 yrs to test for the disease that we are in late stages and the test didnt dectect any antibodies which resulted in us getting a false negative..please help
You don't lose your antibody in late stages. Wherever you are getting your information is totally incorrect. I've had HIV 30 years and I still test positive.
Very bad shape..Please elaborate because from my understanding people can live years with the disease and have no symptoms and not be sick
