How does Oraquick work?
I haven't posted in a while and am wondering if anyone can help me with this because I can't find this answer anywhere... How does Oraquick work? I know it checks for antibodies and I know there are antigens on the test. My question is how do they create the antigens?Do they create a whole virus and then pull the antigen out of it? Where on the test are these antigens located? Are they on the T line? I have many fears regarding hiv but one of them is this test! =(
Hi, you are better off to explain why you feel you had a risk for catching HIV. Perhaps if we assess your risk it may help.
Oraquick looks for antibodies, it's better used until 3 months past your last risk. Blood tests, even rapid, are more sensitive at detecting hiv because it takes longer to develop enough detectable hiv antibodies in saliva than in blood.
Oraquick has a 24/7 365 days a yr hotline.
