More time needed: It takes time to develop antibodies against the HIV virus. 97% of people have antibodies at 3 months but some need 6 months. This is the window period. You are only 5-6 weeks out from possible exposure. I would wait to february 22 then retake the oraquick test. It is 92% sensitive in picking up HIV after 3 months. Good luck. See your doc for further testing if positive.
