Have you ever tested POSITIVE for COVID-19 and not been infected, and later, requesting a retest, and showing NEGATIVE?

Recently, I had scheduled a biopsy procedure at Hoag Hospital, in Newport Beach, and in conjunction, I had the mandatory COVID test, which came back POSTIVE, which of course cancelled the procedure, for a minimum of 30 days. Not being symptomatic, I requested a retest, the following day, at Hoag Urgent Care, after talking to the office of my physician.

I had to jump through a few hoops to get the second COVID test, but the results came back NEGATIVE. That said, I was able to reschedule the procedure, and as a plus was about to change some of the pre-op prep in the process.

Anyone else had this experience?

No fortunately, but I always do the 3 day test, the rapid tests is not really accurate, I only had to do Covid tests for the same reason as you, I’ve never had Covid or symptoms, they just keep testing me every time I go for a procedure

I didn't do the rapid test, so I was surprised.

Oh that’s weird, good thing you got them to test you again, same thing happened to one of my daughters in college since they tested them every week and one time it came out positive and wouldn’t test her again but she wasn’t sick so went out to get tested somewhere else and it was negative but they still quarantined her for 10 days. It was so stupid how they handled it

I agree. I took my test results on my phone to my Yoga class to show my instructor ( who is an RN) and she was glad to see that I retested.
