I tested with Home Access (getting back my 8.5 week results tonight).  Doc and Home Access said that it's as reliable as any other test.

FYI - I spoke to a counseler at Home Access.  They tend to be pretty conservative (i.e., test until 6 months out) and even this person said that their Rapid Express Test is second generation and that the generation makes absolutely NO difference after 6 weeks.

I spoke to them last week and asked that specific question and they told me it's second generation.  In any event, first or second, generations only make a difference in the first 6 weeks.

Dr HHH has answered this question in the past. 'Even the tests in routine used 10 years ago would have been almost as accurate by 5 weeks.. '

So at 9 weeks you are home free even if you were with a hiv infected person. Stop looking for bad news.
