Last question out of concern
Hello, i had asked about the oral oraquick test. After reading through some other post, I noticed that the expert Teak had mentioned false negatives can occur at operator error. How common is this? I performed the actual swab, could i have done anything to not collect enough sample around my gums? I know I am outside of the window period--should i get a blood test instead? I also read oral tests arent as sensative as blood? does this mean the number of antibodies is greater in blood? Sorry, i know these questions are weird, just wanted clarification for my own good. thanks-rr
