Used an OraQuick test today.

[Breedhole4thickpole]

And to my surprise, it came up Neg! I have had some wild encounters over the last two years and figured I had a good chance of being poz. My last encounter was about 5-6 weeks ago, so I am going to do another OraQuick in 2 months. It's crazy to me that I don't know how to feel about the outcome, I LOVE being bred by anon cocks and taking loads. Should I get on PrEP ASAP or should I wait to take another test just to be sure?

They will test you with a more accurate test before putting you on PrEP. If your inclination is to start it, get to an ID doc now and start the testing... BTW, I recall similar surprise when I came up neg after some weeks of (wonderful) slutty times.

Oraquick's window is reasonably short. Usually people who are pozz'ing turn + on Oraquick in 4-5 weeks. A 3rd generation blood antibody test is slightly better at 4 weeks. Just go to the doctor to get on PrEP ASAP and they'll figure out what test to do.

I did an OraQuick test about 3 weeks after a pretty wild encounter....it came up NEG.  Went to the dr. a week later for something else and it was POZ.  I know exactly when and who so if you think that it's possible you might as well go to the dr. and get the real blood test.

exactly skyguyy. in addition a doc will test for other STIs.

I'd love for someone doing an in home test kit to video themselves and the kit- where one side of the video is their face reaction, the other side being the strip. best 20 minute video... especially if the strip turns poz.

I would see a doc to be sure you're neg and get on PREP ASAP. If you wanna keep bottoming bare and stay neg the only way to do it is PREP. I thought luck and picking the "right" guys would keep me neg but I was stupid.

If I tested NEG with an OraQuick 7 weeks after exposure....pretty safe to assume it was accurate?? Thoughts?

[pozpig]

I wouldn't assume anything, especially since you're at the early portion of the window for testing. I'm not sure if the oraquick test shows antibodies as quickly as a traditional blood test but I'd definitely get a regular blood test to verify. In some cases I've known guys who took as long as 3 months to show a reactive test after a known exposure.

Thanks for the head's up!  I realize it is early in the window...just curious, everyone has a different opinion.

Prior to going on PrEP, I tested quarterly with an Oraquick tester.  Additionally, I went to the local free testing once a year and had my normal check up the included STD testing.  I have a video of every single test.   Some, I blabber through the whole thing...others it is just the camera on the tester for a while...then back on me as I look at the results.   I always covered the tester with a napkin just for added effect.   Just for the rest of the story, went off PrEP in April and got knocked up 10 days later.....testing was done in a clinic one week ago today...so no vids on that one....

Curious, at what time frame would you be most toxic after recent exposure?
