HIV :: 9 Week Oraquick Is Accurate?
Feb 9, 2016
I had unprotected vaginal insertive back on11/28/2015 and 12/2/201 with the same girl. On 12/08 I was treated for Chlamydia AND LATER FOUND POSITIVE FOR IT. After a round of antibiotics it was presumably gone. However the Doxycycline caused me to experience all the ARS symptoms. After a week or so of being off they were gone. Reading over and over again about symptoms I told the girl to test and she kept saying she was negative and finally went and bought an Oraquick test at her 8 week post exposure to her ex who gave her the chlamydia and it came back negative. I was only at 4 weeks and so the wait was on. After my 9 week exposure I went and bought an Oraquick Swab test from CVS and it came back negative. I am now going on week 10 and still feel like garbage. Can I assume that my 9 week Oraquick is pretty accurate?

High risk over 10 years ago. I didn't even think to be tested. So after thinking about it everyday I decided to get a oraquick rapid home test. The results were negative. I was fine after. Shortly after I was diag. With seborrheic derm. Which I read can be a start of symptoms in late stage. So I started to research oraquick and found its only 92% reliable. Does anyone know anything about this. Will it really give 8% false negatives. I took another one because I couldn't remember if I drank before it. This time I did it after I woke up in the morning so I could be sure. Are these tests accurate at 92% ? Could I be in late stages is that why sderm is showing up and maybe there aren't enough antibodies. What are the chances of 2 false negatives? Should I take it 9 times? Or is it falsely negative depending on the person. I don't want to think about it anymore.

Does anyone have knowledge of the OraQuick at home test being accurate on children? I know the manufacturer states that the test is not for anyone under the age of 17. However, aren't antibodies in children the same as in adults? If antibodies for hiv were present in a child, wouldn't the test pick it up?

Are the OraQuick at home anti body fluid tests accurate? I have read that 1 in 12 will test false negative. I have also read that those false negatives are not do to testing in the window period. Can someone please explain the validity of the tests and the truth about the false negatives? Also, if the OraQuick is administered to children, if the child was infected, would the OraQuick detect the antibodies in that individual? I know test is not recommended for children, but antibodies to hiv should be detectable regardless of age, correct?

I was recently found to have genital herpes in my vaginal and anal region. There are only two possible people i could have got it from, being my boyfriend and the guy before. My boyfriend has never had an outbreak, but we now know it can be transmitted even when undetected, and he's likely the transmitter. I would like to know if he is infected, so we can both prevent it spreading to him, and inform the other person that he needs to be tested.
So my questions are, how accurate is a blood test for hsv? And in what price range does the test cost to have done? Are there any other tests that don't require a person to have out breaks?

went for std checks .I'm married but work away from home and I have been doubtful even though my relationship with my husband is fine . I guess I can't trust men especially that I spend long times away for work . pcr blood test for hsv1 and hsv2 were negative . but the urine test was positive for hsv 2 . is pcr more accurate or the urine in this case ? I have no symptoms . i recall having one spot years ago that was tiny and went away in few days . do I have hsv2 bases on these findings ?

The man I had an exposure with had this result from a test, he is due for another test in a few weeks.
I've heard that CMIA was more accurate than ELISA. Should I be worried?

32yo married male here, I foolishly got drunk over the weekend and gave and relieved unprotected oral sex off a female prostitute.
She was not at all high class and I'm extremely worried about my health. I have made an appointment for 12 days after this happened with a doctor for an std check.
I have 2 questions
1. Is this a long enough time frame to get an accurate test done.
2. If negative would it be safe to resume my married sex life?

Had a possible exposure in January 2015 ...... Took a home test Oraquick on April 29 2015 and test was Negative. I was still feeling paranoid so in November 2015 I decided to go out and buy another test. Took it and it was once again Negative. So that means I tested Negative at 3 months post possible exposure and then again at 10 months post possible exposure.
The reason i'm so nervous is being I recently had an Endoscopy done and was diagnosed with Esophageal Thrush. Just about everywhere I turn to on the internet mentions HIV as a big culprit. However it also says there are other causes like diabetes and asthma medicine. I don't use any of those, but i am a big sufferer of GERD.
I'm wondering how reliable these tests are. Should I seriously quit being so paranoid?
I have not engaged in risky activities since January 2015. I've read that the test is pretty much "dummy proof" and built much like a pregnancy test where as long as you get a line on the Control line then you know it's working right.

I had an unprotected exposure, therefore I took an in home Oraquick HIV test, at 24 days and at 30 days after exposure both were negative. I plan on taking a 6 week and 12 week HIV test as well. How likely is it for my test to change to a positive? Has anyone seen a four week HIV test done with Oraquick oral swab change by week 6 or later?

I had encounter with a CSW 4.5 weeks ago. I did not have intercourse with her but we did partake in mutual masterbation. I never touched her; however, she did touch herself and then me. She did put a condom on me but I am worried she had vaginal fluids on her hand before she did it. I can't stop worrying about it. 1.5 weeks ago at the 3 week mark I had back pain and back of my knee pain and aching and I was also very tired for about two days. The pain has somewhat gone away but now I have some in my upper chest arm pit area. I don't feel any swollen lymph nodes and no fever. I took an Oraquick at the 3 week and recently 4 week mark. Both were negative. Is this a good indication of my status or am not out of the woods yet? I have read multiple pages saying that Advanced Oraquick is within 2 days of a Rapid Gen 3 Blood test now which usually detects at 3 weeks. However if my symptoms at week 3 were ARS would it have tested positive at week 4?

So I had an exposure a little over a year ago. I started off protected anal but the condom for some reason was taken off and the last couple minutes were unprotected. I ejaculated inside. I have taken 2 oraquick in home tests and both resulted in negatives. Are these conclusive and can I move on? No matter the symptoms I am thinking I have

I had a possible HIV exposure 5 months ago (unprotected anal sex I was the insertive partner). I took two Oraquick home tests today, both came back negative. Am I in the free and clear or should I get additional blood work done?

I just purchased oraquick test after 3 months of unprotected sex with a female, I think that the test was used and the stick had a little blood on it. Can I get infected if there was a little of blood on when I swabbed?
Results came negative though, I'm worried that I could get infected from that.

I am a 21 year old female and I recently found out that my boyfriend has been unfaithful. He and I had unprotected sex (vaginal, oral) on January 1st. When I found out he cheated, I immediately freaked out and became overwhelmed with the thought that I maybe contracted an STD. I made an appointment at Planned Parenthood and was given an OraQuick oral swab. Now it's been just under 6 weeks since my possible "exposure". I tested negative, which relieved me to a degree. How accurate is this? I know there is the 12 week window, but I'm hoping to get some further relief. I have zero symptoms of any kind of disease, and I don't really think my boyfriend has anything either. He agreed to be tested, too.
