12 weeks rapid test
My questions is I had a rapid test at 12 weeks and it came back negative, is that conclusive?
Are the rapid tests as good as the lab based tests?
The reason I ask is because I have read where Dr.H explaining that the rapid tests are only 85% accurate

I guess I am done testing. I am so gald I can put this behind me. Thanks for your help
Are they as good yes because they give an accurate result at 3 months, all tests are good. Lab based blood tests are better because they provide less of a risk for false positives and in the actual practice have a lower window period. But regulations still say 3 months for both.
Not to be a nag but this might also help other people. Are the rapid tests as good as the lab based tests?
