My test came with no expiation
just a negative notation from quest on the site
My wife got her result from the doctor
No written results to her
Maybe doctor has them but she just got the result
Wife was symptom free over 3 weeks prior to test
Maybe a month
I was at least 2.5 to three weeks
And I only had mild mild symptoms
Feaver chills , and that’s it
Like 2 days
got those about 10 days after she had her symptoms
Sounds to me that you and your wife were tested with different test. I have inside knowledge on the manufacturer of the test Quest is running and it's a high quality one. Obviously I cannot comment regarding your wife's test since it seemed to be organized by the doctor. If hope it wasn't one of the early tests manufactured by Joe's Garage, Ltd.
Don't laugh, FDA allowed a slew of antibody tests from companies with little to no in vitro diagnostic testing experience to be sold with no oversight nor critical review. Specificity, the rate of false positives, was a problem with many of these so they recently shut that door.
There are many things that cause these tests to be inaccurate, far too many to elucidate here.
