Is there a risk?

Hey All -

The other day I did the Home Access test for HIV.  In the process, I used a knife to ***** my finger and then dabbed my finger onto the collection sheet.  I was wondering, is it possible to contract HIV from the knife or from putting the open cut onto that sheet?

Thanks

You have got to be ******* kidding right? How the hell would HIV have gotten on the knife in the first place?

No possible way.
