Unsure if test worked

I completed a test and got a single red line. I was nervous at the time and only got a small amount of blood which would have been mixed with sweat as I was nervous. Should I take the test again or can I trust my result?

Hi Worried Tester, as long as you have a control line then your test has worked and your result is reliable. This can only appear if the test has worked and sufficient blood has been used. This is the difference between a sample control line and a procedural control line. I hope this helps. Kindest regards Francesca Bard, BioSure (UK) Ltd
