Orasure/Quick swab
I had a "high risk" exposure(saving you the unsavory details) on apr 5 and went to a clinic on aug 5, the nurse swabbed my upper and lower gums in less than a minute collecting oral fluid. 20 mins later the test comes back negative. How accurate is this reading? And should I move on?
your test was RELIABLE and CONCLUSIVE, proving that you DO NOT have hiv :)
further testing is not warranted.
accept your negative status and move on with your life.
until you are in a monogamous relationship, where both of you have tested...ALWAYS use condoms. sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME.

To clerify, ive read that at three months using oraquick at any risk will give a conclusive result even if i were to test to 6 months, the results will be solid, is this true? Please help me clerify my situation anyone. Thanks
