Rapid test vs ELISA
Hi,
I know that the accuracy of a rapid test and ELISA test is same but chances are there that rapid test kit can be defective. RIGHT. Plz comment.

a negative on either test will be negative, if the date you take is within or after the conclusive timeline, 3 months.
rapid tests are just as reliable, The only rapid test that has a high rate of false positives is the oral rapid test. I wouldnt use that one but the finger prike test does not have a high rate of false postives. Every test that i have ever taken has been a rapid finger test and i have never had a false positive. All negative. And then the rapid test usually might have a false positive if you are a girl thats pregnant.
