My lay-persons advice is to ignore the test results at this stage. Unnecessary anxiety without any valid purpose. Per CDC, you may well be Positive for 90 days after onset. Give your attention to your temperature etc. Treat the symptoms! Meg had a horrible cough for several days, I had minor cough, one day of sore throat and moderately high temp. So a week later she was Negative, 4 weeks later I was marginally Positive still, Negative at the 6 week mark. But all of that is not diagnostic of anything, only an indicator that yes I had been exposed. I did do occasional tests, contrary to my advice above, but only because I needed documentation and clearances for travel.
