FAQs about Abbott’s COVID-19 Antigen Test:

1) How long should people wait between taking BinaxNOW Self Tests?

The BinaxNOW COVID-19 antigen self-tests should be administered twice over three days with at least 36 hours between each antigen test.

2) How do I know if I have a positive or negative test?

In order to check for a positive result, you will need to look at the result window for two pink (or purple) lines. Even a faint line next to the word "sample" on the BinaxNOW COVID-19 test card is a positive result. A negative result will only have one pink or purple line on the top half of the COVID-19 test results window where it says "control".

3) What do I do if my BinaxNow Covid-19 antigen self-test result is invalid?

If your BinaxNow antigen test results window has any of the following, the test result may be invalid:

• No lines appear by control or sample
• The control line is blue and not pink/purple
• There is a pink/purple line by sample, but no line by control
• The control line is blue, but the sample is pink/purple
