What was your experience using the Covid home test kit, Binax Now?

Asked by mazingerz88 (29220points) January 1st, 2022

A bit surprising for me to find out that waiting for that pink line to show up or not could be quite suspenseful. The first kit gave me a negative result but will use the second one tomorrow. I hope it also comes out as negative.

My daughter has used this without issue.

Many times with that kit. Seems to be a good one.

I’ve used the OnGo kit which is similar a couple of times. Was nervous about doing it right the first time, comfortable the second. No big problems.

Haven’t had to use it yet. But my company does not accept it as proof of results. If you are sick and take one of these tests, they want you to go to the doctor to get a regular test anyway before they will clear you to return to work.

@mazingerz88 I agree that waiting for the results was quite suspenseful and then a relief. It reminded me of taking a pregnancy test.

@janbb The second test also came out negative but the wait was only a bit less suspenseful compared to the first.

Better this home kit than nothing while waiting for a better test which I have scheduled for next week.

We have used it multiple times now. Seems to work well and matches the results we’ve received from clinic/hospital administered tests.

(thankfully, all negative thus far)

All four of us used Binax at home the other day. It was fairly easy. Instructions were spot on. We all got negative.
