Blood testing(Lou, Teak, Mike, vance, anyone)

Hi,

I went for testing today for Elisa test after 42 days of my possible risk. The lab technician drew the blood from my hand and transferred the blood from the syringe after removing the needle into a test tube like collection device in open air. If HIV virus becomes inactive due to exposure to air. How reliable will be my results, Please help new stress in my already stressed case...

Regards,
Kamesh.

My risk was a non penetrative vaginal frottage. I have tested today for a 4th generation ELISA HIV DUO test. The result was .06% negative. I will take a conclusive 3rd month test.
