    I’m starting to think those tests are no good.

      The tests are actually impressively accurate. They have a VERY low false positive, when used correctly. They aren’t as good with false negatives, they can miss minor infections, that don’t expose enough virus and so can show negative, even when infected.

      A positive test however, definitely (or as close as no difference) means you’re infected, even if you don’t feel any symptoms.

      I reckon. For me, whenever the T line shows up, I feel crummy for weeks afterwards. It’s not a good sign, I’d rather not take the test. \s
