Insti rapid test weak result question
Has anyone ever seen an insti rapid test with a very faint control dot? (Negative) the last two I did were very very faint to the point where the last one she had to ask another nurse if it was ok.
I'm questioning the validity of the test now. It was so so faint.
Anyone else seen this or have any thoughts on it?

No one here works in a lab. You're starting down the pathway to developing severe HIV anxiety. If the test were bad, they would have re-done it. No reputable lab, which you did use, would just say, "oh well, guess it's OK".
Your test was conclusive and it is time to move on.

Unsure it's anxiety. Just a little doubt and wonder if anyone else has seen it that way.
You have been told that this is not a lab, so consider therapy for your HIV phobia instead of asking endless questions.
It's not a lab test it's done in a clinic and everyone who's had one would have seen their result. It's a question of who has had one and what they saw if mine was unusual.
Please don't jump to the question being about more than it is.
Perhaps someone who's actually had an insti rapid test can comment on what they saw
