A member asked:

Tried a self test for hiv (living in france).it's a lateral flow test. i dropped it in my water glass by error.does the strip contain hazardous genes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The strip does not contain hazardous genes. It you are concerned about HIV, you would be better off getting a blood test for HIV nucleic acid. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
