A member asked:
I took 3 oraquick tests-6 mnths, 9mnths, and 1 yr after exposure. all negative. how accurate are results? should i trust them?

OraQuick: Many lab tests sacrifice sensitivity or reproducibility for ease of use. However, rapid HIV tests have long sought to achieve the highest sensitivity they could given the impact of the dx. Serial testing allows any possible biological immune response to magnify the sensitivity. Assuming the test was performed correctly, you should trust the results.
