Welcome to the forum, and aloha.  (This reply originates from my place at Poipu Beach, Kaua'i.)  Directly to your questions.



1) It is correct that more recent research has suggested a higher proportion of false negatives with rapid testing than previously realized.  My recollection is that it's around 15%, i.e. meaning a negative result remains at least 85% reliable.  However, the newer studies were rather small, and there is a large margin of error.  To my knowledge the exact reasons are not known.  However, false negative results do not occur repeatedly in the same person; so two negative results with rapid tests is virtually 100% reliable.



2) The window period ("time line") is about the same for the lab-based and rapid tests.   8 weeks usually is conclusive.

早期85%的准确率。但8周就和联酶差不多了。（好象仙翁也是这个观点，向仙翁致敬）

保佑jamie

你去性艾啊！来这儿干吗？既然觉得这不好还来干吗呢？
