LFTs - still accurate

7 replies

Are LFTs still working on whatever variant we are on now? I know I don't have to test now but I'm going to an event with lots of people who may be vulnerable if they caught it.

Yes as they're still being used in healthcare

I test weekly (sometimes more often) and I've had no issues.

I’ve just tested positive, on both an old test and a new test so they’re clearly still working !

Also tested positive on one of the flowflex ones I have from when the NHS were handing them out.

Flowflex are pretty accurate, blue nhs ones less so. Flowflex can be pretty cheap too. I think around £4 for five on Amazon.

The Flowflex ones are so sensitive! Both me and DH test positive on them for weeks after an infection. DH once consistently tested positive for two months with them!
