Oraquick Rapid Test accuracy after four weeks

[NED222]

I had an Oraquick Rapid Test done after a few lymph nodes popped up in my right groin four weeks after a possible exposure. How accurate is that test? I assume that if it was HIV that caused the nodes, that the antibodies would have been present. Is it worth getting retested? Thanks.

I am unsure if I had unprotected intercourse. I had had a whole lot to drink and do not recall much of the interaction, but I do remember putting a condom on. She nor I know if we had sex. My only concern is that the condom stayed on the entire time. I know I found it in the bathroom the next morning, completely intact. That is pretty much all I know. Based on the above responses, I plan to get tested again. I did have the nodes checked by a doctor and they were and still are enlarged. I actually have some pain associated with them as well. When the doctor asked about unprotected sex, I said no, because to my knowledge I have have not had it. I may should have further explained the situation. The nodes showed up about three weeks after the interaction.

What was your exposure?

If you had unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or shared a needle with someone, then you can obtain a conclusive result at 3 months.

Were your lymph nodes Dx'ed as swollen by a doctor?

Had you went to their website you would have seen that ONLY a three month test is conclusive.
