The test kit is designed to find occult blood in fecal samples. If you put blood on it from any source it will test positive for blood. But the purpose is to find blood in the stool. The kit really has no other use....

Why would you ask this? I can understand someone trying to fake a drug test, but this is not one you want to fake out. Go ahead and do it, it is only gross for a few seconds, and it may save your life.
