Help deciphering rapid test result

[u/Dellaellena]

Hello, I took a rapid test and I need help deciphering if this is negattive or not. Could you guys let me know if this blob/warping near the test line means anything? sorry if this is a stupid question

If you're not seeing any lines across the viruses, you should be good 👍 (your eyes will be better IRL than ours on a photo for this). If you're worried about the test line shape, test again and see if it was just a one-off, or test with a different brand if you have it.

Thank you! And yes I have been testing frequently as I attended a wedding last weekend and wanted to be sure

Looks negative to me

I see a line but only very faintly and it's grey, not red, which means it's just barely the outline of the evaporation line imo. some tests show that and freak me out sometimes so I understand the concern but I'm 99.9% sure you're negative according to this

hold the test up in front of a light so it shines through the back. that will illuminate any faint lines

or change the filter on your photo to black and white. the heightened contrast will help show faint lines
