Scared of the result of rapid test
Hallo Doctors,
I'm in German and made a rapid test with ICARE HIV1&2 Rapid Screen Tester in last week.
What i'm worry about is, i didn't wait the result for 15-20 min as the instruktion says, i think i watched result just after 1 or 2minutes, wenn a very clear red band appeared in C-area and nothing in T-area, i thought it was enough and put the tester away.
But on the next day morning, i saw a red shadow in T-area, looks like a hyperbola, it expends from the middle of the T-area to the 2 sides of C-area.
I'm now very scared, is it a positiv result? Is it possible, that the red band in T-area change himself to another shape after a few hours?
I'm looking forward to your answer, thank you!

I still want to know, is it possible, that the red band in T-area change himself to another shape after a few hours? If not, waht is the red shadow in the tester? Thanks!
