 Hi Though not the best way to handle blood with it splashing out of the tube, the test is accurate. The test looks for antibodies that your body starts developing against HIV. The guidelines for testing are to be initially tested at 3 weeks post exposure and then again at 90 days if that test is negative than so are you! Be well and stay safe, Shannon | ||||||||
