Why don't you post updated material? The 9th annual conference was in 2002. Since then we have found that the rapid test give more false positives.
A couple things you should do right away:
1) Get off the internet
2) Stop reading outdated material
3) Move on and stop all this unnecessary worrying.
4) You are conclusively and relaibly negative. Do you understand what that means?

I don't know what your response meant...what do false positives have to do with anything? Are you trying to say that Rapid Tests are not as accurate?
No, what he's saying is that rapid tests give more false positives. When it comes to a negative result, It's negative, unless you test too early.
