Question : I just got out of a relationship and took the oraquick test, it was a monaginous relationship, she told me she had a promiscuous past and I am just concerned if the result was legit;
It had taken a full five months adter exposure;
I am gettinf a blood test today and am just scared, sick of thinking about it;
All my previous partners I used condoms withx hadnt even had unpritected since the gd I had before bsck in december 2015, I dont sleep around;
Given its been five months, the oraquick site indicates a 91.7% accuracy at diagnosing a positive result;
I am guessing the eight percent had to do with taking the test too early;
Do you think my results are alrightx and that I need to quit with this anxiety?
It's is consuming me
