Question 1

took oraquick test today two years after protected sex, however instruction say dont swap your gum twice or result could be wrongbut i accidentally did it. is a negative result still accurate at this point?

Accepted Answer

: That detail about collecting the specimen doesn't matter much. However, the oral fluids test misses up to 5% of HIV infections, no matter now long after exposure. It is very unlikely you have HIV, but for conclusive results, have a blood test.

Question 2

ten years ago had risky sexual encounter. two weeks ago took three oraquick tests at home all came back negative. is result accurate after that long. ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Had you become infected from the encounters ten years ago your HIV test would have been positive. The results are accurate.

Question 3

i had a oraquick hiv 1/2 oral test done two days ago. the results were negative. how accurate are those results? last exposure four years ago.

Accepted Answer

Pretty accurate: According to cdc site, "in the clinical studies by the manufacturer, the oraquick oral fluid test correctly identified 99.3% of people who were infected with HIV (sensitivity) and 99.8 % of people who were not infected with HIV (specificity)." of course, if you have symptoms of viral illness or characteristic opportunistic infections, get the standard blood test for confirmation or denial.

Question 4

two negative at home oraquick after 2 years ? should i take a blood test

Accepted Answer

You may: If two oraquick tests are negative two years after exposure it is very unlikely that you have HIV infection. If you opt for a blood test, ask for HIV nucleic acid test.

Question 5

is a negative oraquick at home accurate after a risk 17-18 years ago?

Accepted Answer

: A negative result is highly reassuring, but the oral fluids test misses some infections. For 100% conclusive results, you need a lab-based blood test. However, if you are feeling well, almost certainly you do not have HIV. Most people infected that long ago would be dead by now, or certainly very ill for many years.

Question 6

3 negative oraquick home test 2 years after unprotected risk event. accurate?

Accepted Answer

So far: 2 years after a high risk exposure event with 3 negative HIV tests is a good sign.  Check with your dr. For serum testing with any further definitive confirmatory testing to be done if needed.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Oraquick test: This in home test for HIV diagnosis is reputed to be reliable having a 92% sensitivity(misses only 8 % of cases where HIV is present). All things being considered, I would be quite confident that I was negative. If you still have concerns, consult a clinic or specialist in sexually transmitted diseases.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

: Your question is not clear. What do you mean by "accurate after 17-18 years"?
Do you mean after 17-18 years of suspected exposure?

Question 10
