HIV iCare Test Kit

Hi guys,

from my previous post of protected sex with a mexican girl I have since taken a Home HIV test, I used the iCare HIV test kit, well two of them and they both came out negative.  I was just curious if anybody knew the brand and has heard that it is a good one to use.  It says it is 99% accurate and was curious if this is true.

Thanks

Are you asking if the TEST can cause HIV infection?  If so, absolutely NOT.  If there were a test manufactured by anyone that could cause HIV infection, it would be pulled off the market immediately, and the makers would be sued to the ends of the earth.
