Constantly testing positive on lateral flows
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hi all,
I wanted to put something out there to see if this is happening to anyone else.
For the last 3 weeks I have been testing positive on lateral flow tests. Faint lines, but definitely there. I've done 9 positive lateral flow tests in total and taken 3 PCR tests over this time, all of which came back negative.
To my knowledge I've been lucky enough to completely avoid catching covid so far (touch wood) so I don't think it's something residual hanging on from having had it before, and even if it was and I was just unaware, surely the PCR tests would pick it up?
The lateral flow tests I am continuously testing positive on are the new Flowflex ones. And no, I haven't had any lemon juice before taking them! (I hear that causes false positives!)
I can't find much on the Internet to say other people are experiencing this. I have no symptoms of covid and I'm certain I don't currently have it.
I also don't think it's a dodgy batch of Flowflex tests either, because my husband has used the same ones with a clear negative result.
Am I just defective or is anyone else having the same trouble?
