Was The First Test A False Positive Considered ?

Posted on Tue, 28 Jan 2025

Question: Hi!
I received a positive rapid antigen test on Friday, but was confused as I have had no symptoms and have not closely interacted with anyone. Everyone I could have come into contact with at work tested negative after I asked them to get tested.
I received another rapid on Saturday that came back negative, and a PCR on Saturday that came back negative today.

Was the first test a false positive?

Brief Answer:
You had a false positive test initially

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I believe that the first positive test was a false positive since you had no symptoms at all when you got tested and everyone of your contacts is negative.
Also you got a negative test( PCR )next the next day.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.
