Can Hiv rapid test kit cause infection
Hello Doctor,
While performing the hiv test with test kit I touched the area where sample is collected with pricked finger and give the blood. At the time of touching the sample collection area means sample well blood was flowing from my finger. I dont use pipette as it was not in the packet. I heard there are live antigen of hiv in the test kit.
Now I am extremely worried.
Can hiv spread by test kit in such method?
Am I at risk of getting hiv.
Please doctor answer me.
