A member asked:
How accurate is hiv antibody testing after 3 years of exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very accurate: 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.
