Hello @jlor. I did a bit of research on the oraquick home test and it appears that it is FDA approved, meaning it must have been tested thoroughly and have a reasonable amount of accuracy. However, even quick tests (positive ore negative) are recommended to be confirmed by a blood test with a medical provider or approved community HIV center. Here is more information on the overall processes available for HIV testing, https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/hiv-testing/about/pac-20385018.

@jlor, you mentioned you have had previous scares and tests, but you had blood tests done and they were negative as well?
