Home access

I while back I took home access express test I was two days shy of 16 weeks post exposure. Results were negative but I was wondering if it made a difference if I forgot to disinfect my finger before the finger prick. I did wash my hand before, just forgot to disinfect. Would this screw up my test or cause a false negative?

You are conclusively negative if you had an exposure and no it would not effect the test.
