Easiest accurate test out there.
Highly recommended. Easy to use antigen test, and, in my experience, accurate. I was tested at work by PCR and the iHealth test always corroborated the negative PCR results. When I could not get the PCR, and I had mild flu-like symptoms, this test confirmed it was COVID. Probably Omicron (based on the timing of my infection and that wave). When my 5 days of mild symptoms subsided, I tested again and was still positive. Day 11, negative. The iHealth tests showed stronger then weaker and weaker signals then none. This gave me confidence they were quantitative, more than just positive and negative.
Being vaccinated and boosted gave me the greatest reassurance that I would not be hospitalized or dead, but the iHealth tests gave me reassurance that I had no more active virus and I could come out of isolation. My family stayed negative throughout, and the tests helped me know when I could emerge from my isolation with confidence. Published studies suggest I was probably not shedding much live virus for the later stages, but the iHealth antigen test took the guesswork out of when I could rejoin my family without any concern at all.
One more thing I liked about the iHealth test - it was robust enough that I could do a throat swab AND a nasal swab to be sure I would not get a false negative test. If I was producing Sars-CoV-2, I wanted to KNOW. So I *gently* stroked the *sides* of the back of my throat, and gently stroked my uvula (that hanging-down thing at the back of your throat), with the sides of the swab, then I swabbed each nostril as instructed. If there was virus around, I wanted to be sure it was on the sample. Anyway, I was concerned that throat mucus or salivary enzymes might compromise the test. It seemed they did not. The test was highly positive when I was symptomatic (mild sore throat, mild headache), then when I sampled the same way each time, it was less and less positive. The fact I swabbed my throat and nostrils, and still came up negative, made me quite confident I was virus-free.
I was glad I had the iHealth test to take the guesswork out of knowing when I was no longer shedding virus.
