A longitudinal study, including unprecedented molecular tests performed on aerosols, reveals that exhaled viral load (the purported measurement of contagiousness) peaks before rapid antigen tests are reliably positive.

Key Points: 
  • A longitudinal study, including unprecedented molecular tests performed on aerosols, reveals that exhaled viral load (the purported measurement of contagiousness) peaks before rapid antigen tests are reliably positive.
  • The findings imply that people can spread the virus early in the course of an infection while their rapid antigen test is negative.
  • This assumption was based on the data from PCR tests with nasopharyngeal swabs, which showed a lower viral load at an early stage of infection.
  • A longitudinal study from KU Leuven, UZ Leuven and imec revealed clear differences in the temporal dynamics of viral load for nasopharyngeal swab, saliva, breath, and antigen tests.
