Go to a Dr and test. You are wasting $ and time ordering these test kits.

thanks for posting, yes it was at a clinic and i did not put myself at risk, it happened unfortunately, the condom broke and i only noticed few minutes later, maybe a single minute only. They said that now they are selling to canada and it has been approved there. i actually bought another test which seems to be from a big company, i will receive next week, but i forgot the name, when i receive i will tell you. So now i'm confused whether to beleive the negative result or not, regarding that i did not have a single hiv symptom.

When you tested negative in November was it at a clinic, did you put yourself at risk again? This home test is not approved by the FDA

Sorry for all the posts, I had the names mixed up, The approved oral test is called OraSure or OraQuick, Not OraRapid

Sorry for the confusion

Sorry I missed the part where you said you bought it, OraRapid tests are not sold to the public. many china sites state they are selling the OraRapid tests but they will not send you this kit. Only tests that are FDA approved that you can buy at home is the Home Access test kit and it is home sampling not rapid. If you take the OraRapid test at a clinic it is conclusive at 3 months.

Here is the Home Access test website you can order through

Hope this helps
