curious
I tested negative the morning of my 3 month rapid oral swab test but i didnt brush my teeth i did after the test silly me thought you had to wait 2 hrs after brushing teeth to take the test so i didnt brush would this have altered my yest and give me a false negative from bacteria in my mouth by not brushing or does the test seperate what its looking for and be able to detemine the right specimen from the wrong should i retest....
By the way i did it at planned parenthood not in my home so im sure everything was done right by trained professionals i kus couldnt let go of the guilt but im over it now again thank you
Lol im a woman and i had unprotected sex which was the first time i ever in my 29 yrs did something sooo dumb and the guilt was driving me crazy that i did something so dumb im usually celibate if im not in a monogamus relationship i was looking for every and any reason that could have wemt wrong with the test .......all the way from developing the once a yr cold and body aches from the common cold after my 3 month testi thought the test was wrong to did i swab my gums right to this u relieved my last what if thank youuuu sooo much :)
No problem sir, I assume you have had a big time exposure, however your 3 month negative results proves you do not have HIV.
Thank you so much for your quick response i think this is all anxiety ive been celibate and never wana expierence this again....i will take drastic measures the next time i have sex! 7 week negative now 12 week negative im proud to say your answer relieved the what if....now i can put this all behind me :)
