Oraquick question

Can I trust a 12 week oraquick? I took one at 11 weeks and one at 12. I was wondering if anyone has any bad experiences with these not being accurate.

I also had a 10 week negative 4th gen but worried I can't trust as it's not 3 months. Thanks for any advice guys

Your question was answered in your previous thread and regardless of risk, as Mike_no has stated here, your test was conclusive.

You've already been told on this forum and elsewhere by paid experts that you had no risk and should seek out counseling since you're unable to accept this response. Have you even tried to get a therapist since you last posted on here?  Because instead of wasting your time asking the same questions and getting the same answers and going around in the same circles, you need to deal with the root cause of your problem, which is health related anxiety and which we can't help you with here. That requires an offline counselor with whom you need to address this issue. I strongly advise you to Google for a counselor in your area  and call them today to make an appointment as soon as possible.

Unprotected sex with wife after another guy had just came in her. Unaware of his status. And rubbing bloody knuckles with a buddy at work. Unaware of his status as well
However I was under the impression that if you test within the "window period" were conclusive no matter the risk
Please dont think I'm being rude with my reply. I'm just so stressed from getting so much conflicting information online. Does that make since? I'm by no means a rude person. I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I was directly pointing at a 'medical risk' since this is a medical forum.

This forum is a house to a lot of anxious people, sometime people post things, which drives them up the wall.  Asking correct question to address relevant answer is my objective here.

You have conclusively tested negative. There is nothing that is left to be desired for any testing.  Your tests at 10 weeks was a conclusive. Further to your affirmations Oraquick oral swab test will give you accurate negative result. Also the testing window was accurate for both the test.

Also, unless you are on chemotherapy for cancer in your body, there is practically no chance for delayed seroconversion.

You need to accept your result snd move on.  Good luck.
