Meant to go to a clinic but my sister told me about biosure
Meant to go to a clinic but my sister told me about biosure as she was a tester.I think it’s great to have access to such tests at home.However- although there is the opaque bag- if you live with someone else they would wonder why a sealed bag or seemingly unopened package has been thrown out- leading to uncomfortable answers.
Also the box was clearly marked HIV test so again – if u live with someone the privacy bit goes out the window eg i was quite pre occupied with other things and i opened the outer packaging then got distracted and left the box on my dining room table. Luckily i live alone- but left me wondering if you have a room mate they would see that u want to test for HIV. So maybe make a box thats less conspicuous.
I found the instructions easy to follow but initially found it daunting to go through the information because of the large booklet which makes it look like there’s lots to do. A leaflet like the pregnancy tests should suffice i think.
Lastly- how do i know I’m not the 1:1000 with a false negative result??
