antibody test - lines appear after a few hours
Hi,
I took a 3rd gen antibody test- blood. after 8 weeks exposure.
The doc told me the test was negative, he also passed me the test kit to keep.
Several hours i took a look at the kit again and i saw 2 very faint line below 'T', the color is faint grey.
May i know what does this mean? Or i do not have to worry at all.
Thanks alot.

It's negative. These tests were made to be read within a certain time period and if left longer, any changes you might see are just the result of the test sitting out longer than it should have.
