What is a Self-Test or At-Home Test?
Self-tests for COVID-19 give rapid results and can be taken anywhere, regardless of your vaccination status or whether you have symptoms.
-
They detect current infection and are sometimes also called “home tests”, “at-home tests” or “over the counter (OTC) tests”.
-
They give your result in a few minutes and are different from laboratory-based tests that may take days to return your result.
-
Self-tests along with vaccination, wearing a well-fitted mask, and physical distancing, help protect you and others by reducing the chances of spreading COVID-19.
-
Self-tests do not detect antibodies which would suggest a previous infection and they do not measure your level of immunity.
How to Use an At-Home COVID-19 Test:
Read the complete manufacturer’s instructions for use before using the test.
-
To use an at-home test, you will collect a nasal specimen and then test that specimen.
-
If you do not follow the manufacturer’s instructions, your test result may be incorrect.
-
Wash your hands before and after you collect a nasal specimen for your test.
When to take an At-Home COVID-19 Test:

Do I need to report my 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.
If you have any questions, always call your health care provider or local county public health office. You can also contact the CDC Hotline at 800-CDC-INFO (800-232-4636).
