How Convincing Are Test Results From Oraquick?

Hi,I had unprotected sex approximately 6 weeks ago. The oraquick test revealed negative findings.I have had no symptoms other than a canker sore.I am panicked and wondering if I can find comfort in the negative at 6 weeks with the oraquick test.Thanks

Hello,welcome to hcm
I appreciate your concern.
This tests are very sensitive actually nearly 99%.
And after 6 weeks of sex it is of great sensitivity.
But if you still want to be sure get an ultrasonography.and also consult your physician.
Hope this is helpful.
Ask more questions and i shall be happy to help you.
Regards.
