Anybody getting repeated false positives with flowflex?

Three times (each time he took one with flowflex) in two months DN tested positive on a LFT, and rushed out and got a PCR immediately. Each time the PCR was negative. Most recently December 22nd. Friday did another one, was positive again - and then took one that he had left of an older brand (within minutes) and got negative. GP says there is nothing he can do, 191 doesn't want to know. Anybody else having this experience? Doesn't seem any point him doing an LFT test if it is always going to show positive and the PCR is then always going to show negative.

The same repeatedly happens with me (female age 50). Flow flex always give faint line (Nov, Dec, Jan). Negative pcrs. I’m fully vaccinated & boosted. Other brands all negative. Husband & kids are all ok with Flow Flex and return negatives. Must surely be picking up something else? I don’t use Flow Flex any longer and will report it. Causes unnecessary anguish for the whole family.

Ply50 I completely understand you. Are you on any medications? I am and wondering if a link?

On zero medications

I think it also has implications now that PCR tests are no longer required to confirm LTF tests. There could be loads of people out there isolating for no reason.
