Can I trust my oral HIV test results
Dear doc,
I really need some help about 8 or 9 years ago I had unprotected sex with a women of unknown status. A year later I met my wife and we have been monogamous for 7 years now. She had a similar indecent to me prior to us meeting. Since then neither one of us have had an HIV test and over this time I have had shingles and she has had vial Pharyngitis. Well for the last 2 years we have been trying to start a family andthe Dr has ordered an HIV test. I was scared to death that I took 4 of the new oraquick rapid oral HIV antibodie test. All for can back negative no question...I followed the
directions to a "t". My question is can I rely on these results to be conclusive. Thanks for all your help and God bless.

Lizzie,
I have one last question I know I have said that before but I promise after this I will sign out and not come back. My wife took the same at home test I took and it was negative the rapid oral test. Is there any reason to believe that when she has her blood test at the end of the month it would show something different

you're welcome.
if you cannot get past this on your own...seek out the help of a mental health professional.
this forum really has nothing left to offer...you are conclusively negative.

Thank you for your response today...I have been reading some of you're post on anxiety and I thank that is what I am suffering from. I should be yelling woohoo about my results but I can't seem to get past the fact that these test are not reliable... But I just want to thank you again
Truly sorry to be a pain in the tail... I can understand you and teaks frustration. I will not bother you guys again, just wanted to be 100% positive about these at home test and I have read so much that you and teak have wrote over the years and i really respect what you do.
you have been told REPEATEDLY that you do not have a hiv concern.
accept your negative result(s) and kindly move along.

My wife took her at home rapid oral test yesterday as well and it came back negative as well but he r control line was faint... Does that make any difference at ask
My wife just tested negative using the same at home test...I don't think we have anything to worry about when we take the bloods test do we
You guys have given me a real piece of mind..now the wife and I can move forward and Try and start our family.
Thank you both for your guidance...I have been so nervous that I couldn't get happy about the results I was afraid the test weren't as advertised.
Best news for the USA now that home HIV testing is avaliable--you watch how many more people will test now and be aware of their status,it's unbelievable we don't have them here in Australia.You can relax now,you have a conclusive result.
I know I am probably going to get your move on after this but the reassurance will be well worth it... Let me first start by saying thank you, so you are saying that if these test are taking correctly and post window perio are very accurate. So since my exposure was so long ago my wife and I should be good to go. I promise this will be my last question and I can't thank you and the doctors enough for all you do in this forum... Have a great rest of you weekend
It has it's pros and cons. I personally don't like it because you aren't in the company of a medical professional when you read the results.
So after 7 years I can trust my results...thanks... On another note what is your opinion of the at home test...good or bad... The reason I ask is because I have been a reck over the past week and done a lot of research and I wanted Ruhr opinion of a professional
Yes the test is reliable and you wouldn't get a false negative after 3 months. Yes I am an education and no we do not accept donations. If you feel a need to donate, donate to your local HIV organizations and thank you for the offer.
I know these new test have been under a lot of scrutiny so I just want to know if it can be trusted I, was told by our states HIV hotline that they are the same test used in clinics through out the country... Teak are you an HIV educator if so is there a non profit you support I can donate to
