Lupus and positive Lateral Flow Tests

I have taken a few lateral flow tests just as a precautionary measure before going places on 3 separate occasions now and I always get a positive result (only a faint T line) however positive and all were followed by a negative PCR test. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this as I wonder was it anything to do with having Lupus and if something connected with the disease was reacting with the tests.

I’ve not had any LFT come up positive yet. My husband thought he could see a faint line on one but he had looked at an hour after taking it and I couldnt see what it was he was looking at. 🤷‍♀️

I have e read on HU other posts with similar issues, a search should bring them up for you to read.

Ive found I come up a false positive which I was told could be linked to the biological medicine I take for lupus. Ask your DR. Take care
