home access testing and weather?

Hello...I took the home access test at 11 weeks post exposure. My result was negative but my question is this: after I took my test (monday night) I took it to an outside drop box. When I checked the times, I had missed the last pick up time. So my package sat in the cold all night. It was in the negatives that night_could the temp have effected my test results? Thanks!

Your test would not change in a matter of 8 days.

Thanks Vance!! Can I bother with another quick question- I know 12 weeks is conclusive. I had unprotected sex with a friend twice-one would fall within 12 weeks(86 days) and the last within 11 (78 days). Would u consider this conclusive?

No it is not going to affect the test.

What was your exposure?
