Is a laboratory-certified self test more reliable than a rapid test?
Yes. Many rapid tests are not reliable because your sample will not be examined by a laboratory. This increases the chance of a false positive/negative or inconclusive result. Oftentimes, additional laboratory tests are required after a rapid test to confirm the results. A laboratory test such as what Homed-IQ offers provides certainty about your test result.
