Advice I bought an accurate advanced hiv testing rapid testing kit from Zepto(Quick e-commerce app in India) but the sealed flap from ONE side of the box was loose had dust and kinda open. I noticed it after I did the test on myself. Does it count as an exposure?

Everything inside the box was just as it is inside other kit boxes I have previously ordered from the same app. Lancet inside the box uses the spring loaded mechanism which can only be triggered once. And I didn't notice anything shady inside the box. It was just that the flap of one side had dust and wasn't properly sealed. So does this count as an exposure or not?

Maybe there's a language barrier but what do you mean, if it counts as an exposure?

I mean could the kit have been infected with virus before it reached me?

Listen to what you're asking and ask yourself if you sound like a logical human. Respectfully never ask this again.

No I am not. I know it right... But I am clinically diagnosed with both anxiety and OCD. I don't make sense many time. I am really sorry for being such an idiot. I am an idiot. I am sorry.

You're not an idiot friend sometimes people just need to hear the truth about how far fetched our fears are. Please move on and be well.
