My partners is faint too. She had her booster at the end of September. You might have a mild version of it although listening to my missus you wouldn’t think so she sounds like a pack of Huskies at feeding time.

Ken Tram Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Please can someone confirm if a non-infectious person can show a feint line because they have had a booster? (It doesn't say anything about it in my two testing booklets, which say that a feint line is positive result!) Maybe there are different tests with different ways to read the results? Also, the booklets that I have seen for two of the tests say not to read the results after 30 minutes. What worries me is if people are finding reasons to think that positive results are actually negative! So, please do explain how the boosters affect the test line.

Ken Tram Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This article from the Independent 4 hours ago, says that all feint lines are positive. It doesn't mention the possible impact of a booster. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/covid-lateral-flow-test-report-omicron-b1982704.html Are there any articles that day that the booster can cause a feint line?

alexxxxx Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Rapid antigen tests do not pick up effects of vaccines. If you've got a line, however feint (as long as you've not left it out for hours and hours) - it's detected proteins of the virus. The tests generally can't detect low levels hence the can't rule out an infection but basically can confirm one. False positives are rare, but should be backed up by a pcr.

Ken Tram Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) This post on net mums explains that it is only feint lines appearing between 15 and 30 minutes that indicate a positive result. Lines appearing after 30 minutes do not count. The tests are not fully accurate, but I worry in case people conflate that with a feint line being "less" positive. (Unless there is an article that says that this is the case.) The Independent article (a few posts above) says that the lateral flow tests are about 90% accurate at the point when people are most infectious. And that they're also useful for when people are infectious, but not showing any symptoms. And it says that anyone with symptoms should get the more accurate and sensitive PCR test.

I just find it strange that I got a really dark line straight away from my test and my missus only gets a faint line after 15 mins. The only difference is she had a booster 3 months ago where as I had mine last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
