James would like some clarification & help on answering this question.
"I have taken 4 LFTs over the past few weeks, which showed a faint but discernible line at the "T" mark. This indicates a positive covid result and the web and kit instructions say such results should be treated as such. However I have also done confirmatory PCR tests which have all come back negative. This says the LFTs' results are false positives. NB I have used different batches of test kits. I have been triple jabbed and can confirm I have covid antibodies in my blood.
1. Why is do I consistently get false positive LFTs please?
2. Also what am I to believe now when I do LFTs? Can I trust them in my case? Should I simply keep doing PCR tests instead?"
