Ora-Rapid Accuracy?

My question is how accurate are Ora-Rapid oral HIV tests? Please note that I'm not talking about OraQuick or OraSure. Ora-Rapid is made in China and sold through the Internet. My guess is the name was an attempt to capitalize on the FDA approved brand names. The manufacturer claims 99.8% reliability but I find that number to be questionable. Does anyone have an definitive answers or experiences with this product?

No. That's what happens when you buy and use unapproved tests.

Should I worry if when I took the Ora-Rapid test there was a very faint red line on the T part of the test?

Already ordered the Home Access HIV test. I've used it before and it is FDA approved. Should have just gone with it in the first place. I also should have researched more before buying the oral test; I would have known they aren't sold/approved for home use in the US.
