A member asked:
Can i trust the results of the oraquick oral test i took 1 year after risk event?how likely is it that my negative is false?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's conclusive: The oral fluids HIV test (Oraquick®) takes a bit longer than blood tests to be conclusive, up to 3 months (4-8 weeks for all blood tests). However, it is definitely conclusive from 3 months on. A negative result a year after the last exposure proves you don't have HIV. No worries!
