Why You Should Report Your Rapid Test Results
COVID-19 rapid tests are easy to take — and then toss. So most people never report their results, which leaves health officials with an incomplete picture of how much virus is circulating and where.
That's what the NIH RADx® MARS program has made. The MARS team built a system that puts at-home test results into a standard format used by health care professionals. That information then flows into secure databases that researchers and public health teams already know how to use. MakeMyTestCount.org is the front end of that system, allowing us to safely and securely report our at-home results, including as much personal information as we feel comfortable sharing.
COVID-19 was the first infectious disease for which the U.S. had over-the-counter at-home tests. But at-home tests for other diseases like influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are already appearing. When you report your results on MakeMyTestCount, you help America get ready for the future of at-home testing. And you help your country be better prepared to keep all its citizens safer from infectious disease.
