Hi Anxious 001, Our kits are manufactured within a sterile, clean and controlled environment. Each kit is 100% visually inspected during the manufacturing process and any kits that do not meet the product requirements are rejected and not used. The components inside the pouch i.e. the test barrel itself, buffer pot, lancet and plaster are all sterilised before being sealed inside the pouch. The lancet is single use and therefore can only be fired once. The needle enclosed within the lancet plastic cannot be easily tampered with - it is very easy to see whether someone would have tampered with the lancet or test pouch before use. If the pouch is sealed then there should be no reason to worry about efficacy or contamination. Additionally, there are no harmful solutions or anything in or on the test that could cause infection. You cannot catch HIV from using this test. We stock our test on Amazon. These tests are manufactured in our warehouse and are shipped to Amazon in the grey mailing bags. The tests are not exposed to or handled by anyone at Amazon/during transport. As long as you purchased the test via Amazon from BioSure as a trusted seller then the test is reliable. I hope this helps to put your mind at rest. Kindest regards, Becky

I also want to know if it’s safe to order off of Amazon. I can’t remember what my packaging looked like so I’ve really scared myself. I was able to use the lancet so that could be a sign that my package wasn’t tampered with. Your response would be greatly appreciated
