Just making sure I was correct  :)

This is fairly common, as I said earlier. Many people are still testing positive 6+ weeks later.

Seems unlikely that they are contagious though. Which is very good news.

Any reason to believe that the rapid tests are less accurate than the conventional tests?

I believe they have a lower specificity percentage.

FTFY
Korea has accepted it as fact, if I’m not mistaken
the question begs why there no studies yet in the  US around this

American medical guidance from the beginning has been to consider one non-infectious after symptoms subside, without retesting. It was just a guess, but turned out to be correct

Makes one wonder how long a non-symptomatic positive is considered contagious.

I tested positive for COVID in March. Has 2 positive antibody tests (April and May), positive COVID test in May.
Anyone else in a similar boat?

Went for a rapid test yesterday. Came back negative. They said they will send it out to the lab. Let the roller coaster begin.

Final results for PCR came back negative. Dont know what to make of it anymore.
