Buying antigen / antibody tests - recommendation?

0 replies

Has anyone got experience in which antibody or antigen kit to purchase?

I ve had non typical symptoms for >5 days - as such I am not eligible for a NHS test. Yes, I could have lied, but i would feel bad if I added to the backlog in my area when people are genuinely unwell and needing a test.

I have add aches, a few chills, a runny nose and tickly throat, and one single bout of tummy upset. I am tired, but nothing unusual. The NHS / gov page says that those who do not have typical symptoms should organise a test privately. For my peace of mind, I d like to check - but which test? there are many out there, and i read that lateral flow is not reliable. Would be grateful for recommendations please.
