oraquick otc

[jf79]

hello, last january 4, i was having receptive anal sex in a bath house and the guys condom broke. i was very worried but i didnt do nothing for a long time. i started looking online a couple of weeks ago and got really scared because i had nightsweats that soaked my bed and i read that happens when someone has hiv.

two weeks ago, i went to the pharmacy and saw they have hiv tests, the oraquick home tests i bought one of the tests, took it home and i tested negative.  but i saw that there are a few false negatives that occur with this test. today, i found this forum and decided to ask my questions.

1)  i dont know what to believe from what i read online. some places say 6 months conclusive, others 3.  my test was taken a week shy from 5 months.  do i need to take another test?

2) it worries me to see oraquick talking about false negatives. can i trust my one test?  or do i need to take more?

3) im married, but have marital problems and havent had sex with my wife.  but this whole experience has made me open my eyes and i want to make sure that if we can work on our problems, she wont be at risk.

please help me. thank you very much

No you do not need to retest.

thank you teak, i am just nervous because of what oraquick says on its website.  why is the test missing some infections?

do i need to retest at 6 months?

[Teak]

Then you know your test was conclusive.

i did. i saw the video online an hour before taking the test, didnt smoke, eat or drink about 40 minutes before taking it and then read the package and followed instructions step by step

Did you read and follow the instructions?
