Any of you guys run into girls that use the oral quick test HIV thingy that's advertised on these pages?  I thought this would have been discussed before, but a search for the keywords "HIV oral test" turns up nothing.

Good question bro, same here need to know if anybody ever try it before.

if they work. i would be as important as a condom.

of course not !!!  
test results are never to that moment ... so one might be infected but not show up in results until a few weeks/months later !!!
ALWAYS STAY PROTECTED !!!

Hold on there pardner!

Your instinct to err on the side of caution is correct of course, however the value in rapid testing (and by that I mean the PCR HIV test that can detect exposure in just a matter of weeks) is that you can identify someone almost before they become infectious.  Yes, I did say 'almost', so I'm acknowledging that there's still risk here.

However the central point is still: someone who tests negative is less likely to be positive than the random unknown girl out there.  Sounds kinda obvious when you say it out loud like that.

Your point is that you might be testing them a week before they would register on a test, but that also means that they are less infective, if they're infective at all.  This is why 6 week testing for porn stars is the norm and why it works well in that industry (I think it's every 6 weeks, any porn stars here able to confirm? ).

If something as important as an HIV test returned false NEGATIVES then such a test would never get approved.  If anything they skew the sensitivity so that you get 0 false negatives and a few false positives (that must scare the bejeezus out of some folks! ).

Anyway, I don't mean to argue the merits of going BB on the results of the oral test.  I was just wondering what the experience with the test has been around here.

I don't trust much on the test. As you do not have much chance to verify the result too.

Rather than that, do you like to wait for 30 mins waiting and do nothing with a chick?

I tried this test in a free clinic in NY after a condom break incident with a girl in China.. basically you run a plastic swab all around your gums, and then wait 15-20 minutes for the results to show up.  most clinics in US appear to be using it, quicker and i think almost as reliable as blood testing.  

good luck with your testing.

Interesting.  That certainly is a vote of confidence if clinics are using it.

Btw, HIV test should be done after 3 months of the incidents, else it is not accurate at all

I understand now and would not take a risk, condom still the best.
