Hello all

I had this test this morning and haven't gone into work (can WFH without an issue) but my manager is a bit snotty about this test and it not being positive.

I can completely agree it's a very faint line however I live with my partner who tested positive last Thursday and I have of course had lots of contact with him, I have symptoms (mostly a headache and very very bad backache / neck ache), but do you see the second line? This was this morning before I was due to set off for the bus into the office.

If this was a pregnancy test I'd be bouncing off the walls happy but not enjoying a squinter on a covid test Blush

I can see the line so I would assume that's a positive. I've found that the line gets stronger as my symptoms increase so test again tomorrow and you may find a stronger line.

I do, mine was like that at first and then was a dark line within a couple of days. My partner told me I was being paranoid and I didn’t have covid, until him and the kids all caught it two days later. Magically I wasn’t being paranoid then!

Yes its positive. My first line positive test was like that.

Yes definitely positive

Emmamoo89 · 20/02/2023 16:18

Definitely positive

ShakespearesBlister · 25/02/2023 21:35

That's positive yes. Mine was like that when I started getting better.

Yeah

Your manager is wrong and needs to go and read up on how the tests work!

Cupofteaaa5 · 25/02/2023 22:03

Yep! A tiny line is still positive. It'll be a stronger line tomorrow

Yes it's positive, didn't even need my glasses!
Your manager is a moron.
