HIV protein in test kit
My question is about the safety issues of the OraQuick HIV test. Does any component contain HIV protein which may induce seroconversion? With other words, if the reagent has contact with mucosa or goes to the blood, may it convert the subject to HIV positive?
You require the entire virus to become infected not a part of it--move along now
Thank you. So there is nothing in the reagent which may induce hiv antibody production, right?
I cut my finger while opening the bottle. I had contact with the liquid inside the bottle. Thanks.
