What kinds of flu tests are there?
A number of tests are available to detect flu viruses in respiratory specimens. The most common are called “rapid influenza diagnostic tests (RIDTs).” RIDTs work by detecting the parts of the virus (antigens) that stimulate an immune response. These tests can provide results within approximately 10-15 minutes but may not be as accurate as other flu tests. Therefore, you could still have flu, even though your rapid test result is negative. Other flu tests called “rapid molecular assays” detect genetic material of the flu virus. Rapid molecular assays produce results in 15-20 minutes and are more accurate than RIDTs.

Ever stop to wonder why the germ theory is still a theory?
The health professionals tells us food is our medicine.
Why isn’t the terrain theory being pursued?
It seems more logical.
Then there is the old fashioned test-going with symptoms. Still probably the most intelligent and accurate!
