Strep tests are used to determine whether a person with a sore throat (pharyngitis) has strep throat, an infection of the throat and tonsils caused by the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes, also called group A streptococcus (GAS). negative rapid test indicates that the affected person probably does not have strep throat, but a throat culture may be performed for confirmation, especially among children and adolescents. If the throat culture is positive for group A streptococci, then the person tested does have strep throat.
A positive test means that you may be making blood clots. The test does not tell where the clots are or why you are making clots. Your provider may order other tests to see where clots are located. A positive test may be caused by other factors, and you may not have any clots.
