My sister has just tested positive on a LFT.
She has the booster this morning, she thinks it could effect the result of the test. I think not, she’s booked a pcr for tomorrow as my mum also has a vvvv faint line on her test. Does the booster effect the results of LFT?

No I asked this just before my booster, booster wouldn’t affect LFT!

GeorgieTheGorgeousGoat · 22/12/2021 16:19

No it's not a live vaccine.

Would you say the bottom

I would say they all show a positive, sorry

Orchidflower1 · 22/12/2021 17:05

All three do. Sorry to say @Samcj02

Orchidflower1 · 22/12/2021 17:05

Is yours the middle one? @Samcj02

BIWI · 22/12/2021 17:06

Yes, even a very faint line means it's positive. Sorry Flowers

Samcj02 · 22/12/2021 17:06

Thanks everyone! The top two are my sisters the bottoms my mums! They’re off for a pcr tomorrow to confirm! Think my mum was hoping hers was negative as it’s faint and she could’ve see it! X

Samcj02 · 22/12/2021 17:07

@Orchidflower1

Is yours the middle one? *@Samcj02*
Not mine! My sisters and mums, I had covid back in august so hoping to evade it this time around. I’ve done a LFT and it’s negative x

The bottom one is what mine looked like monday. I took it as positive as I had symptoms. Confirmed with PCR yesterday

OnceuponaRainbow18 · 22/12/2021 17:14

They all look positive to me.
Delta in aug doesn’t mean to won’t get omicron in dec!

Glad you’re ok so far op. Hope your mum and sister don’t feel too unwell.

Samcj02 · 22/12/2021 17:35

@Orchidflower1

Glad you’re ok so far op. Hope your mum and sister don’t feel too unwell.
They’re okay so far! My sister only tested because she had a headache and felt a bit rough when it came back positive my mum tested as they’re in the same household x

Also a quick question and probably a silly one, does the darker line indicate the progression of the virus, or does it not matter I only ask as the very dark one was taken first.. she then took another, I don’t know why but she did which is the middle one a lot fainter. I think she’s in denial and hoping her pcr will be negative as it’s Xmas x

I think it's a bit like taking a pregnancy test - i.e. you can't just be a bit pregnant!

If she has the virus, then she has the virus.

Yeah that’s what I said I think she’s In denial and hoping for negative pcr.
