A member asked:
In oraquick hiv test, is there a way to not have to put swab device in mouth to collect saliva? i'd rather collect with my finger & put it on device.

Contamination: Really? A cotton q-tipped swab is a concern? Please follow the instructions to the letter to get a valid or accurate test.
