We assessed preferences of social media-using young black, Hispanic and white men-who-have-sex-with-men (YMSM) for oral fluid rapid HIV self-testing, as compared to other currently available HIV testing options.
We also identified aspects of the oral fluid rapid HIV self-test that might influence preferences for using this test instead of other HIV testing options and determined if consideration of HIV testing costs and the potential future availability of fingerstick rapid HIV self-testing change HIV testing preferences.
"However, we have no basis for expecting that kind of fluid rapid and clear communication in the history of managed care… I'm worried that the mechanics of how this will be implemented would result in patients being thrown into acute withdrawal, which would be medically risky".
Of the 17 persons classified as infected, 12 (71%) had a whole blood rapid test and 5 (29%) had an oral fluid rapid test.
Whole blood (collected by fingerstick and venipuncture) and oral fluid rapid tests routinely conducted at each site were included in surveillance.
Of the 72 persons classified as uninfected, 29 (40%) had a whole blood rapid test and 43 (60%) had an oral fluid rapid test.

From August 2004 June 2005, we investigated a sudden increase in false-positive results occurring in a performance study of OraQuick® oral-fluid rapid HIV tests in Minnesota.
In July 2004, the Minnesota Department of Health requested CDC to investigate a sudden increase in false-positive results with the oral-fluid rapid HIV tests.

With proper training to ensure correct use and interpretation, the OraQuick Advance oral-fluid rapid HIV test can be used successfully as a point-of-care test, although the test has a lower specificity with oral fluid than with whole blood [1], [4], [7].
