A member asked:
I spilled buffer solution(cell lysis buffer)on a fresh cut.except potential irritation or contact dermitis, pharmacist told me it's not dangerous.but since it was an hiv selftest kit, should i still worry whether there were hazardous antigens in it?

No: The self test kit does not contain any living organism otherwise it would never have been approved as a self-test kit.
