Do you think this is a positive lateral flow?

Good morning,
Today & yesterday I have been feeling generally unwell. Snuffy nose, sore throat & headache. I did 2 lateral flow tests but they're very faint.
What do you think?
Thanks!

Yep they are positive, sorry, hope you feel better soon.

Yep sorry they're positive 😔

They are both positive. That was about the strongest my line got when I was positive. I went for a PCR just to confirm (but you don't need to do that, just isolate and test from day 5)
Hope you feel better soon.

Yes. I looked at an instruction booklet randomly the other day and they've added a picture of a "faint one" to show you that is still a positive.

Could you do a pcr to check? They look like my DHs tests but pcr confirmed he was actually negative.

I had three similar to that before I got a bright red line, 2.5 days after symptoms started. Sorry, I agree with with others, positive.

100% positive. Mine was even fainter than this so I did another and swabbed throat which was a clear positive.

Definitely positive
