is rapid testing accurate?

[Brian123]

Would it be offered in health departments/clinics if it were not?

I asked this question to the doctor.  He said that rapid testing (blood an oral swab) are as reliable as regular blood tests.  He says the only risk the oral swap carries is a higher percentage of false positives, bt even that is very very very very slight risk.

They are FDA approved tests and FDA approves things on no fancy basis but genuineness.
