A member asked:
Is it true that some people will never test positive on ora quick home saliva test hiv regardless the window period ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes. Oral fluids contain far less anti-HIV antibody than blood does, so the antibody is more difficult to detect. Roughly 2-5% of HIV infected persons test negative with Oraquick. It should not be used by persons worried about HIV after a particular exposure.
