Unified rapid blood test? HowardH, Vance or Nursegirl?
I had an exposure awhile ago. Having a tough time believing previous tests I went to Planned Parenthood and had the rapid blood test at 20 months past exposure. Negative. After reading about the test online afterwards the manufacturer states the reservoir where the sample and solution go must be a red dot. I saw the negative test result, but can't remember if the dot was red. Any reason it would not have?
Thanks for your response. autocorrect changed my title to unified, should have been unigold. There was a line next to control, nothing next to test. I don't remember looking at the reservoir where the blood and solution were put, but that's where the manufacturer states it should be a red dot or the test is invalid. No internal control.
Easy to forget things and then worry.
As long as there was one dot (and not two or no dot), you are negative.
