Question 1

oraquick test at 4 months conclusive?

Accepted Answer

Not entirely: If positive it needs to be confirmed. If negative, you should repeat it as some people take up to a year to make enough antibodies for a positive result. If you wish to make sure, ask your doctor for an HIV nucleic acid test which would be conclusive at 4 months after exposure.

Question 2

is a oraquick test at 88 days conclusive? 2 days shy of 90. only because of my busy schedule?

Accepted Answer

: Two days makes no difference; 88 days is just as reliable as 90. But the oral fluids HIV test never turns positive in up to 5% of people with HIV. If HIV risk was low, you can consider it conclusive, but people at high risk for HIV should not rely on Oraquick as their only test. If you had a genuine high risk exposure, have a lab-based AgAb (4th generation) or 3rd generation antibody test.

Question 3

i took a the oraquick swab test at 81 days. can this result be considered conclusive even tho it is just shy if the 84 day mark?

Accepted Answer

HIV: No form of testing is free from false negative and false positive results, each of which occurs in roughly one in 1,000 tests.  To be certain that you are not infected with HIV you should obtain a PCR for HIV RNA.  Now, that having been said, the chances that you have HIV disease after negative Oraquick testing at about 80 days after exposure are highly unlikely.

Question 4

is 3 negative oraquick results considered conclusive if taken 10years after risk event. im worried about getting false negatives ?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, yes: If performed properly, oraquick has shown consistently verifiable results.  You can always check with your doctor for additional testing (such as antigen or PCR) if you're really concerned.  But, all things being equal, the oraquick tests are as reliable as the antibody tests we use in the office.

Question 5

had an unsafe encounter over ten years ago. took 3 oraquick tests a week ago and all three negative are they reliable after that long. ?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You're healthy.: Be thankful for good health. You're young, you're smart enough to have found health-tap, and you don't have HIV. You had an "unsafe encounter" -- but you gave and received love, imperfect as human love always is. My hope for you is that you will cherish everything that was positive about this time long ago, and love both wisely and well in a happier future.

Question 6

would eating and drinking affect an oraquick test i waited 30 minutes before i took it.  ive took three tests all negative. do u think im safe?

Accepted Answer

Depends: When do you think you got exposed to HIV? Antibody tests, may some times many months to turn positive, rarely, up to a year. It would be useful to get a fourth generation test, and even better to get tested for HIV nucleic acid. If you potential exposure to HIV was more than a year ago, you are likely to be safe.

Question 7

i gave a guy a blowjob 3+ months ago and there was ejaculation. i tested negative for oraquick in home at 83, 93, & 97 days. is this test accurate/conclusive?

Accepted Answer

Oraquick: 21 yo female with history of blow job three months ago who tested negative on oraquick at 83, 93, and 97 days.
Please note that hiv  home test that was positive does not guarantee that the test is in fact positive. Also be reminded that negative test does not guarantee that the test is negative as well. The best thing is to see your doctor for evaluation and conclusive test for reassurance.

Question 8

11 years ago had a risk event took 4 oral swab oraquick tests recently all negative. is it conclusive or do i need blood test  to be conclusive ?

Accepted Answer

HIV less likely : The HIV commercial tests rely on antibodies that are produced within two months of exposure so if you do not have any recent sexual exposures it is unlikely that you have HIV at this time

Question 9

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.
