Is OraQuick HIV Test Done 2 Years After Exposure Conclusive?

Posted on Thu, 2 Mar 2017

Question: I had a sexual experience with a female just about 3 years ago and ever since then I have had a fear I contracted HIV. I did we a condom but not sure it it broke in the process. My fear really started after I heard she was diagnosed HIV positive like 6 weeks after of encounter. So I took the oraquick home test at these intervals: 6,9,15,24,52 weeks all negative. then I went to a place that does free HIV testing and the did the oraquick advance oral swab at 15 months and it was negative. So at 2 years and 7 months I took another oraquck home test and got another negative. I just feel like I get weird illnesses and sicker more frequently than the past.

With the testing I have done can I say I am HIV negative?

Brief Answer:
Yes absolutely you are risk free.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome to HCM.

You had protecred sexual encounter and ora-quick test result even after 2 years 7 months is negative then it is 100% conclusive and you are absolutely risk free from HIV. Your illness or sickness is not at all related to HIV so don't think much, forget about the episode and live your life normally with family.

Thank You
