Home test

Hey i'm from the UK and I bought a home HIV test online. It says that if they are CE approved then they are official. I took the test and it came back negative. I did this first as the clinic was full and I could not get an appointment  to be tested however I'm still going to book into a clinic to double check. Is this right to do?

I thought so.... It came from europe. Good thing I knew to also go to a clinic anyway. Im guessing it's an illegal one.
