Should I trust the results of a self-test? Positive results from self-tests are highly reliable. Negative results from self-tests do not rule out SARS-CoV-2 infection. A negative self-test result may not be reliable, especially if you have symptoms associated with COVID-19. Invalid results from self-tests mean the test did not work properly, and a new test is needed to get an accurate result. Do I need to report the results from my self-test? CDC strongly encourages everyone who uses a self-test to report any positive results to their healthcare provider. Healthcare providers can ensure that those who have tested positive for COVID-19 receive the most appropriate medical care, including specific treatments if necessary. In most jurisdictions, healthcare providers who diagnose COVID-19 are required to report those cases to public health. The US Government does not want to construct any barriers that would deter the use of self-tests. COVID-19 surveillance continues to be based on results from laboratory testing. The primary role of case reporting is to allow public health agencies to take actions to mitigate disease spread. The public health community, including CDC, is confident that situational awareness remains strong without receiving self-test results.
