HIV Home test kit

[esso05]

I have used a HIV home test kit for HIV1 and 2 as it says that I bought online ,the test result came negative  can I rely on that result as it says if the result is negative it is definitive and if positive it can be a false positive . Do I need to do another lab test ?

well if the home test kit is approved by the health department then its ok, if it is not, then there is no one to be accountable for if the result is not accurate..therefore,its always better to get a test done in a hospital or lab using a kit which is approved by the health department

unfortunately I am in a country where it is not easy to ask for that test .....That's why I bought the Home test kit ...
So is it not reliable , the note with the Kit it says if the result is negative it is definitive and if positive it can be a false positive .
Pls advise what else can I do ?

Do a rapid test at a poin of care or go to your doctor and ask for a HIV test, and do any of these at 3 months.
