  2. A rapid antigen test for travel is one of the great ways of determining if you are positive with Covid-19. Doing this test can help you save a lot of time that you will have wasted and frustration as a result of being denied entry at the airport or your destination. Contrary to what some people still think is best, a rapid antigen test is what you need to take after you have had Covid-19 for several days and want to confirm if you are probably no longer infectious to other people. The term infected in this case means that you have the virus in you. Infectious means that you are shedding enough virus to infect somebody else, and that can only occur during a peak. It follows a curve after someone has been exposed. The CDC’s current isolation guidance is that if people have access to a Covid-19 test and want to take it, the best way to do it is using a rapid test toward the end of their 5-day isolation period. Those who continue to test positive at that point should continue isolating until they reach day 10 after their symptoms began. Those who test negative can stop

Even though the rapid antigen test for travel has low sensitivity and is inferior to the PCR test to tell you if you have been infected with Covid- 19, because of its lower sensitivity, it picks up only viruses at a higher level and probably levels that are more infectious. Even though there isn’t an FDA-cleared test that can tell you exactly how much virus is needed to be infectious to other people, evolving evidence has led public health experts to think that rapid tests do better compared to PCR tests when it comes to capturing when people are exiting the period of maximum infectiousness, because PCR tests are too sensitive.
