      If you are positive with no symptoms, there is a 35.8% chance it will be picked up.

      If you are positive with symptoms, there is a 64.2% chance it will be picked up.

      These numbers apply to binaxnow only. Other tests are better or worse.

      If you test positive, there is nearly a 100% chance you are actually positive. A notable exception is if there is a sugary beverage in your nose. Both coca cola and coke zero cause false positives.
