No, you're supposed to ram the q-tip back into your brain. You want brain material on the swab. Jabbing sinuses and scraping out grey matter is crucial for study. Do it or else!
It looks like a pregnancy test lol
Thanks
She later checked the result and it tested positive
i thought you had to stick the swab all the way up your nose lol
Imagine she just testest positive

Ain’t nothing wrong with being positive just don’t spread it because others do get symptoms
How do I get more tests?
Maybe show what it looks like?
Great vid. Small critiques 1) show the dropped insertion more slowly and 2) explain how to read the results.

She stuck that stick WAAAAYYY to shallow in the nose. Needs to stick in a lot deeper in the nose.
Everyone giving conflicting information on where to put the swab.... some say in outer nostril.... others say it goes back in a way similar to the PCR tests.... this is for the same kit BTW. oh well haven't had to do it recently so I guess the end result is the same.

Stupid they do not show how to read the final results when there's two versions under "positive"

Yes! They are ticklish! It helps to apply a LITTLE bit of pressure on the outside with your finger during the 5 seconds per nostril . . . or do the 2nd method where you insert deep back, which I found not ticklish.
My test didn’t show positive for almost an hour after I performed this test off of these instructions. Just a word of advice to wait long and look hard. Sometimes the line is very faint.

That is likely just an evaporation line. They happen with any liquid tests including pregnancy and ovulation tests. You need to assess based on the time recommended in the instructions.

@Tan Tan She did it correctly. There are two methods listed in the instructions for that test and she did one of the methods.
Step one: Take rapid test. Step two: Throw it to the nearest garbage bin. Step three: Continue living your life normally. (Not “new normal”).

Wrong ... 1/2inch into the nasal cavity not the nostril
I did one like 2 hours ago and decided to check again 10 minutes ago and the normal line that goes at the c was there but then there was a line above it so idk what that means

You are meant to check after 15 minutes ONLY. Once you pass 30 minutes, which it should state in the instructions, its faulty or whatever. If you’re unsure, call the doctor and they’ll send you to get PMR, or take another one and see.
