Hi, everyone.  I have been trying to figure out which generation the Oraquick Rapid (1/2) Test for Whole Blood is.  Does anyone know whether it is 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th generation?  Thank you!

OraSure does not use the terminology "generation." They just rename their tests. It doesn't make a difference what generation a test is taken at the correct time.
