    How accurate are covid saliva tests? My dad seems to have symptoms, but the saliva test showed negative. Swab test tomorrow to make sure. Also, he is sneezing a lot and is complaining about fever with chills. Could it just be an allergy?

    Fever with chills can be anything, for me it was uti- even though I thought it’s covid, after covid consider other tests after consulting a doctor…

     

    hope he recovers soon!

    Unlikely that the home kit is showing a false positive. My wife was sick with fever, headache for the past couple of days and got the rapid antigen test at home. It turned out to be negative but we also got the RTPCR done just to be on the safer side (negative too). 

    Don't panic and just isolate. The last time when I got COVID, it took me a few days to start showing symptoms after my wife. It's likely that your wife/mom have built a good immunity or that their viral payload is low that the test isn't flagging it. Just quarantine, eat well (high protein) and drink lots of fluids. Get started on antibiotics after consulting your physician. You'll be fine in the next couple of days. Do take care, man. 

    Thanks ?

    Positive here, from today! Via home kit.
    cold, cough, throat pain so far…

     

    My dad is positive too, he has had mild fever from last 3-4 days, he was isolating - I might have got it from him, wife and mom are negative (so far- a little surprised as to how)

     

    When and If should I do a proper lab test? Could this home kit test be a false positive?  Could my mom and wife be false negative?

     

     

    Can anyone shed some light ?
