OraQuick Test result
Good afternoon. I have a doubt about my result after taking the OraQuick test. I was about to took the test so I opened the box, took bag that contained the solution and the test device, then opened the bag and took the solution and the test device (I didn't touch the flat pad). I put the solution on the table. After that, I threw away the bag. Because I was insecure about taking the test, I put everything on the box again, without the bag. After 15 minutes I decided to finally took the test and my result was a C (negative). My question is , is my result valid? Thank you
But the test device was out of its bag and the flat pad touched the box for 15 minutes aprox. Does it influence in the result?
If you read the instructions and followed the instructions, the tests would be accurate.
Actually after I opened the box for the second time. I did everything as shown in the instructions. The test test device was out of its bag for 15 minutes in a box. However, the result was clear and it worked normally. But still, my question is if the result is valid .
