General questions

Dears,

1. Since the first time the tip was not completely full of blood, I brought it closer after a some seconds a second time.

2. Because of my agitation l grabbed the test half a minute before the 15 minutes expired.

3. Before performing the test I  inadvertently touched the device tip with my hands.

Can be all these issues be a problem for my negative test result?

Thanks.

Hi Tony01, 1. As long as you received your control line, enough blood has been supplied and your test has run properly. 2. That is fine, your result would not be affected. 3. That is also fine, your result would not be affected. Your negative result is accurate and if performed 12 weeks post exposure, your result would be conclusive and you do not need to retest. Kindest regards, Becky
