I’ve now been positive for two months on rapids—but only on Walgreens tests. My husband tests negative on them. The other brands I’ve tried over the last few weeks have been negative, and in the last week I’ve been basically symptom free (shortness of breath and weakness on exertion just lasted a long time this round). I’ve had covid before and it’s never lasted this long.

Is there something different about Walgreens tests? I’m still isolating, under the assumption that if I can test positive on a rapid test, I could in theory infect someone. I know people talk about “lingering virus particles” but to my knowledge that only applies to PCR tests (PLEASE prove me wrong if you have a study link that says otherwise for rapid tests).

Thank you!
