UNDERSTANDING YOUR RESULTS
What your BD Veritor™ At-Home Test Results Mean![]()
COVID-19: Antigen Negative
A negative test result means that you are unlikely to have COVID-19. It is possible for the test to give a negative result that is incorrect (false negative) in some people with COVID-19, especially if you have symptoms or had close contact with a person with COVID-19.
![]()
COVID-19: Antigen Positive
A positive test result indicates that you are very likely to have COVID-19. There is a very small chance that the test can give a positive result that is wrong (a false positive result), especially if you do not have symptoms or have not had close contact with someone with COVID-19.

Invalid
If you receive an invalid result, an error occurred so a result could not be reported, and you should follow the next steps outlined in the app.
The most common reasons for an invalid result are not collecting enough specimen from your nose or applying too little liquid to the test stick.
