hiv home testing

I'm very worried about the fact that I used an unapproved DIY test kit a couple of months back.. I tested again at 11 weeks after i took that test with a proper test in a lab and the result was negative too but I'm concerned that this home test kit may have been dangerous.  Would it be possible to contract any kind of blood to blood illness from a test kit like this?  It looked fairly clean but I have no idea where it came from really (apart from China) and that's what concerns me.  What do you think?

Hi.
I know this home kits. it used over 90 country includ uk au and nzland.but  it's only can be used in lab. so if you order an one step rapid kit ,it sure can give you a over 99.9% accurate results.
fda ufda cfda and other fda something.they are all appoved this one step kit(drop 3-4 blood, wait 10mins see one line or two line ). it is accurate rate same like elisa . but only can be used for lad . ok know you know that.
