Used hiv test kit without diluent
Used a test kit without the diluent and it came out negative, does this mean the test is invalid??
Your anxiety will not go away until you have received the absolute best test, stop playing games with yourself and go get a 4th gen ag/ab combo from a diagnostic company at 3 months. Until then you will keep questioning yourself, there is no amount of reassurance that I can give you

Any test is valid after 3 months and a 4th gen after 4 weeks. if you don't do the test properly then it was wasted, so you will have to do another.
