Should i trust a oraquick hiv test from drug store, 6 months after possible exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nucleic acid test: A nucleic acid test for HIV, if negative at 6 months after exposure will remove any doubt of an infection. Home test has more false positives and is not a definitive test.
