Q: Home HIv kits accuracy ?

I have recently bought a home testing kit after being worried of contracting hiv almost a year ago. I used the kit and the test came back negative.
I read online that a blood home hiv kit is as secure as one taken in a clinic but i am still worried(stepping to paranoia).

Is a home test acurate when tested almost a year after the exposure?

Thank you

What I don't like about home testing is the fact that you are doing it alone with no nurse or doctor or professional to make sure everything was done properly.I say,go get tested at a free clinic or at your doctors.I personally don't trust home testing but that's just my personal opinion.
