Hiv from kit ?
Hello everyone .. so i was involved in insertive oral sex from gay male (i know it doesnt transmit hiv) and i was paranoid about that for a while .. then to ease my mind i ordered online rapid test (called JusChek) from a shady website and the guy also was weirdly interested in my health .. so i did the test and it was negative .. the thing is when i pricked my finger .. i directly touched the sample place .. ‘if’ lets say the test was infected with hiv itself ? Is that a risk for me ?
I know im very paranoid about everything , just need someone with experience tell me.

Guys please .. regardless of my mental state .. im asking for scientific explanation for my situation including the what if’s .. i used a lancet and while droping the blood which was thick i had to touch the sample place on the kit. Then i put the alchohol pad to clean it. I was okay untill these thoughts came .. i know im mentally sick but please assure me on such situations including the what ifs.
Paranoia is good to recognize. Discussing things that are unrealistic isn't helpful. I'd talk to your doctor about why you have these fears and anxieties. Anxiety disorders are treatable. People get HIV from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing IV drug needles, not HIV test kits.
ANM,
I always have the thoughts of conspiracy theory and that people want to hurt me.
I just need your explained answer.
If we said that the seller was a maniac that wants everyone infected, and he actually infected the lancet and the actual test which myfinger touched directly on the sample, is that possible ?
Please am anxious really

Since you are testing for a disease you said you can't have, and are also wondering if the kit infected you with the same disease, then you should see a therapist to try to deal with this HIV fixation. Your "paranoia" as you describe it can't be solved on a chat forum.
