Concern about oral swab HIV rapid tests.

2024-05-04 08:08:31
Are rapid in home HIV tests accurate? I tested with OraQuick oral swap hives test after 8 months of exposure and it came negative. Again I tested with same test after 9 months and it came back negative. Is it conclusive? I am very scared. I am having symptoms of HIV like weight loss and sore throat.
