The home HIV test is reliable?

[Bildi]

Dear Doctor, /Sorry for my English.../
I ordered a HIV hometest from the internet - MiraTes. The result: negative. I have read much about this test' reliablity on the internet. I'm still always worry. I was waiting for the 3 months window-period.
My question: What do you think about this test' reliablity? I will go to the hospital... I will have appointment for next week... I will have a "normal" test because I'm worry about the MiraTes' reliablity.
I'm curious for your opinion.
Thank you: Bildi

Home testing kits are not approved in the US.

I wouldnt trust a home kit that people buy over the intermnet i bought a copoule and one of them gave me a false +ve I nearlly killed my self I rushed to hospital told my doctor about it he calmed me downb and order an ELISA test for me and i had to wait for 6 hours to get my results and thank God it was -ve and that was 130 days past the xposure. believe me you don't want to go through what i went through it was the lowest point in my life. Go to hospital and get the proper test hiv is not a joke you have to be 100% sure about your status.
