How to use antigen in a sentence?
Let's say it's a Monday or on Day Zero you get exposed. Day three, you might turn positive on a PCR later that night. Day three and a half or maybe early day four you might turn positive on an antigen test. And so, the whole idea of twice a week is to shave off a considerable part of people's infectious course, and so, if you're using it twice a week, even if you turn positive in the middle of your two tests, by the time you do test, especially because it's rapid, you'll be able to pull yourself out when you've only been spreading for one and a half or two days instead of five days and six days.
We do know that the antigen test may not perform as well as it had for prior variants – the alpha variant and the delta variant – but it’s still picking up quite a bit of infection.
If you have symptoms or were substantially exposed to someone with Covid-19, you should go get a PCR test. That's the gold standard, the at-home antigen tests should be used, ideally, when you are asymptomatic and the likelihood of you having Covid is pretty low, but you're using it for assurance purposes.
After testing negative for Covid-19 on Monday during her regular testing cadence, the First Lady began to develop cold-like symptoms late in the evening. She tested negative again on a rapid antigen test, but a PCR test came back positive.
If a molecular test is positive, it's an accurate reflection of a person being infected, if it's negative, it's less reliable that the person is indeed negative. The same is true of the antigen tests.
