COVID RT-PCR Test v/s COVID Antigen testing. Which is better?
Both the COVID RT-PCR test and the COVID antigen test detect the presence of a COVID-19 infection. The indications for both vary. It has been observed that when an individual shows symptoms of a viral illness or reports a prolonged exposure to an infected individual for a long time, they can take an antigen test to assess the presence of the infection.
But research suggests that a COVID RT-PCR test is more accurate and reliable in diagnosing a COVID-19 infection effectively at an early stage. It can do so with or without the presence of symptoms.
According to research, the accuracy of the antigen test is around 60-70%, while the accuracy of the COVID RT-PCR test is approximately 90%. So, if you are suffering from mild symptoms, you might prefer antigen, but if you are suffering from major symptoms for a long time, then the COVID RT-PCR test is suggested.
Is it possible to test negative and later test positive for COVID-19?
In the COVID-19 test, a negative test denotes that the SARS-CoV2 virus is not found in the sample of a person. This possibly determines that the person is not infected with the COVID-19. However, false results can occur due to various reasons like:-
- People tested too soon after exposure
- Inadequate amount of virus in the body as the infection subsides
- Swabbing of large populations
