A member asked:

How sensitive is a six week oraquick hiv test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: The test is sensitive in detecting antibodies to HIV. However, some people may not make antibodies for up to a year after infection. If you are concerned about infection, please ask for a HIV nucleic acid test.
