A member asked:
Tested my bf 2x w/ oraquick before we decided to have sex and im wondering - what are the chances 2 oraquick tests give a false negative 4 and 5 months after possible exposure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low chance: Oraquick has two tests, blood and oral fluids. The blood test detects 100% of HIV infections at 4-5 months. A few people with HIV (around 2-3%) never develop a positive oral fluids test. Even with the oral test, the chance your bf has HIV is extremely low, but it depends on his prior risks. If at especailly high risk (e.g. sex with men, past partner known to have HIV), he should have a blood test.

I took a oraquick at home HIV test that you buy from drugstore 6 years after possible exposure. Is that too long after to take it? I did two of them to be extra sure, if that matters. Both negative.
