HIV Rapid Test
Greetings,
I have ordered an HIV rapid test kit.
I understand these home rapid test kits has the HIV antigen embedded in the capture pad, which then will react if an HIV antibody was found in the blood sample.
When I pricked my finger, I coudn't get enough blood in so I kind of touched the capture/sample pad a little bit. I'm afraid of HIV exposure after learning that the pad contains the HIV antigen. I understand that the virus is not present but wouldn't the HIV antigen infect you just as well? Can I get exposed to HIV after what occured?
Please advise. I am deeply worried.

it might be legit, it might not be..that is the problem with kits ordered online
the best thing would be to get tested from a doctor..

A company called CS Innovations, manufacturer in Singapore. The name is "EZ-H2 RAPID ANTI-HIV (1&2) TEST".
Who is the manufacturer of the HIV kit? Many of the HIV kits offered for sale online (especially mfg's overseas) are fraudulent.
