Oraquick test kits can sometimes give false positives. The best test is a blood test that is more accurate. HIV in blood is easer to detect than in saliva.

You are best just going to a clinic to get tested, though if the tests are negative that is somewhat reassuring. The company will always take the most conservative position.
