Rapid Antigen COVID Screening
Over the past few months, antigen testing for COVID-19 has become more and more popular. Unlike typical PCR tests that have been widely available, antigen tests make the screening process a lot quicker, allowing individuals to understand their status sooner and isolate if needed.
Rapid COVID testing is highly sought-after and can be hard to come by, but H&M Nursing Services makes it easy. We are proud to offer drive-through testing, as well as at-home concierge testing services at your convenience.

Get in Touch!What Are Antigen Tests and How Do They Work?
An antigen test works to detect the specific spike protein indicative of the COVID-19 virus. To administer the test, a health care professional or trained expert will use a nasal swab to collect a fluid sample. When issued properly, antigen tests are considered very accurate, and you can rest assured our expert team will follow instructions carefully.
Antigen tests are often used to screen for COVID, opposed to diagnosing the virus outright. They can be administered to those who are asymptomatic and believe they’ve encountered the virus. If the antigen test comes back positive, a PCR test can be used to further determine the diagnosis.
Knowing the Best Time for Rapid COVID Screening
There are a few different reasons why an individual may choose to invest in rapid COVID-19 screening, for instance:
- If they’ve come in close contact with someone who has COVID-19
- If they’ve been to a large gathering or space where there is a high risk of transmission
- If they work or live in a busy, crowded place
- If they need proof of a negative test to work, travel, or engage in other activities
Fast, Convenient, and Reliable Rapid COVID Testing
The primary reason why antigen tests have become so popular is that they can produce results quickly, on average, between 15 minutes and an hour. The rapidness of this testing method allows people to isolate sooner and prevent spreading the virus in their community.
H&M Nursing Services offers a drive-through testing clinic as well as concierge services, where our staff can come to your home and administer a test on the spot.
