hiv combo test blood sample exposed to air

[Kkk670]

hello there ! had hiv combo test with a negative result . my question is my blood sample was taken
my blood draw into a test tube . i noticed the top of test tube was open bringing air into the test tube  .

1) basically my blood sample was exposed to air would that effect my hiv combo tests ? make them inaccurate
2) i heard hiv dies once exposed to air so will that kill antigen and antibody also ? .  

does this make my hiv test inaccurate ? if not why thanks

There is no effect at all.  Based on this and your previous question, you are now conclusively negative.  We wish you the best and are now closing this thread.
