Rapid test is a check method to see the body's infection by using a blood sample.
Check by rapid test :
- A blood sample is taken from the tip of the finger.
- Blood samples are dripped into a rapid test.
- The solvent liquid and the reagent will be dropped into the same place.
- Wait for 10-15 minutes.
- Results will appear in the tool, in the form of strip red.
Read the results of the rapid test.
There are several letters or signs that will indicate the results of the test.
- Ig : Immunoglobuline or antibodies in the blood made by humans specifically against exposure to infection.
- IgM : Ig M (+) on a rapid test indicates exposure in the near future.
- IgG : Ig G (+) on a rapid test indicates exposure in the past.
If the results of the rapid test show :
Ig M (+), Ig G (-), and Ig M (+), Ig G (+), then the examination should be continued with Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Genome Sequencing at a government referral hospital.
If the results of the rapid test show :
Ig M (-), Ig G (+), then rapid tests are needed again in the next one or two weeks.
Repeated rapid tests should also be done if the results are Ig M (-), Ig G (-) because the risk of exposure to infection remains.
