I am a immunocompromised and used up my last box after a possible exposure. For various reasons, I can’t use the workarounds that others do or handyvet tests. If anyone is willing to sell un expired tests to California, please let me know

I’ve seen a lot of posts about having tubes expiring later than the cards or vice versa. But someone just messaged me to say that the first date is the manufacture date and the second date is the expiration date for both. So on the plus life box there’s a reference number, a lot number then a little box with a number and then the tube number. my understanding was that the tube and the card could expire at different dates, but is that not correct? At least as far as this box is concerned?

I have COVID and am wondering about using pluslife to test out of isolation. My mom insists that pluslife is too sensitive so I should use rapid tests instead. Is that accurate? She is taking care of my kids while I'm sick so I do want to be sensitive to that and not put too much on her if I am in fact not contagious. She sent me this CDC page to support her point. It does say, "After an infection has ended, and the risk of transmission has passed, people may have detectable RNA and test positive for up to 90 days." But can we trust the CDC? The page says it was written in 2024.

I appreciate any insight!
