Rapid Flu/COVID-19/Strep Testing onsite

Don't delay, whether it is for travel, work, or school.

  • PCR is the Gold Standard for Covid testing which is sent to the lab.
  • Rapid Antigen test is done onsite when an immediate answer is needed.

If test is positive; quarantine and stop the spread.

 

IGG Antibody Titers

  • Every test has the possibility of a false positive and false negative.
  • A positive antibody titer implies you have had a previous infection with a coronavirus, likely but not limited to Covid-19.
  • A positive antibody titer does NOT necessarily mean that you are immune from getting Covid-19 again or that you cannot infect other people.
  • A negative antibody titer implies that you have not yet developed antibodies to Covid-19/Corona subtypes. This implies that either you have not been infected, your infection may have been too mild, or your immune system did not respond to the infection. Either way you may be at risk for the infection.
