These at-home OTC COVID-19 diagnostic tests are FDA authorized for self-testing at home (or in other locations) without a prescription. Tests are available online or at local stores and you collect your own sample, perform the test, and read the result yourself without the need to send a sample to a laboratory.
With most at-home OTC COVID-19 diagnostic tests, you should repeat testing following a negative result, whether you have symptoms or not, to reduce your risk of a false negative test result. The FDA encourages you to voluntarily and anonymously report your positive or negative test results every time you use an at-home COVID-19 test. You can send your test result to MakeMyTestCount.org or use an app or other digital option for self-reporting that may be included with your test. For additional information on reading and understanding your test results, see Understanding At-Home OTC COVID-19 Antigen Diagnostic Test Results.
The table below is updated regularly and lists FDA-authorized at-home OTC COVID-19 diagnostic tests, including information on expiration dates, who can use the test, links to home use instructions for each test, and other details that may help you decide what test is right for you. For additional information about each Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), see In Vitro Diagnostics EUAs: Tables of IVD EUAs.
In the table below, the "Expiration Date" column lists where to find the expiration date for that test, and the "Other Details" column lists the shelf-life for the test. The shelf-life is how long the test should work as expected and is measured from the date the test was manufactured. The expiration date is set at the end of the shelf-life and is the date through which the test is expected to perform as accurately as when manufactured. In some cases, the expiration date for a test may be extended.
An extended expiration date means the manufacturer provided data showing that the shelf-life is longer than was known when the test was first authorized. For more information about how the expiration date is determined and why it may be extended, see the At-Home COVID-19 Diagnostic Tests: Frequently Asked Questions.

The OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals is a collection of about 150 of the most relevant internationally agreed testing methods used by government, industry and independent laboratories to identify and characterise potential hazards of chemicals. They are a set of tools for professionals, used primarily in regulatory safety testing and subsequent chemical and chemical product notification, chemical registration and in chemical evaluation. They can also be used for the selection and ranking of candidate chemicals during the development of new chemicals and products and in toxicology research. This group of tests covers effects on biotic systems.
The early-life stages of fish are exposed to five concentrations of the test substance dissolved in water, preferably under flow-through conditions, or where appropriate, semi-static conditions. The test starts with placing fertilised eggs (at least 80 per concentration level) in the test chambers (four at the minimum) and continues at least until all the control fishes are free-feeding. Lethal and sub-lethal effects are assessed and compared with control values to either determine the lowest observed effect concentration and the no observed effect concentration, or the effect concentration leading to x% change on organisms for the effect observed. The study report should include measurement of the concentrations of the test substance in water at regular intervals (five at least), the dissolved oxygen, the temperature, pH, total hardness and salinity, fish weight and length, observations of abnormal appearance, abnormal behaviour, hatching and survival, as well as the no-observed effect level or the effect concentration leading to x% change in the organisms for the effect observed.

My dad also taught me steeliness, an unwillingness to surrender. Steeliness kept me from being raped once. I fought my attacker. I left an imprint of my phone on his face. I memorized details of his face and clothing. Determined to keep other women from being violated, I identified him, testified against him and made sure he went to jail.
I am not a large woman; petite, in fact. I cannot command respect with my presence and stature. As a community college English instructor in a tough town, I teach people who aren't always eager to learn. I'm the mean teacher. I like to push students harder than they want to be pushed. Some of them don't like me at the time, but they usually end up appreciating me later on. "Hate me now, love me later" is my motto.
That tough and steely will my father gave me helps me bear the loss of him. I watched him die of cancer, but he never gave up on wanting to live. Perhaps it would have been easier on both him and the family had he given in to death, had he not fought to the absolute last breath. Although I do not have him in my life anymore, I got to see him as himself to the very end of his. I understand the poet Dylan Thomas, who pleads with his own father to "rage, rage against the dying of the light."

PrologueIra Glass A few months ago, all of us here at This American Life heard that there's this test that they give to determine if somebody is a psychopath. And we thought, we want to take that. So we asked a forensic psychologist, Dr. David Bernstein, who gives this test all the time, to administer the test to us. He took us each into a room, gave us about an hour of questions.

But that night at home, the blurriness persisted. I tested my eyes by covering up one and then the other. I quickly noticed that in addition to blurred vision, I had lost most of the color vision in my right eye. This was a definite red flag, so I booked an appointment with an optometrist the next day.
The next day I got in to see Dr. Aparna Ramasubramanian, one of the leading experts in the field of ocular oncology. She is based at Phoenix Children's Hospital, but she sees patients (children and adults) from all over the U.S.
She explained that treatment of a small melanoma is over 90% effective. I told her I was getting ready to quit work and travel the world for my remaining days. She said "No, I am sorry about your travel plans. You are probably going to be fine. The odds of metastasis for a small tumor are very low."
But the treatment sounded horrifying. They had to create a radiation plaque and sew it directly onto my eyeball. I had surgery to place it on, where it had to stay for seven days, during which the radiation would kill the tumor. It was a very uncomfortable seven days, isolated from everyone because of the radioactivity. But the alternative to this was either removal of my eye, or death.
A week later I had another surgery to remove the radiation plaque, and after a couple of days I was able to remove my patch. After a week of being covered up, my eye was very sensitive to light. In December I had one final surgery, where Dr. Rama used a laser on any remaining bits of tumor.
People have asked me how this could happen. I have several risk factors. Blue eyes and fair skin are especially susceptible. Excessive exposure to the sun is a risk. I have spent a lot of time in the sun. Welding is a risk factor, and I welded when I was younger. When I was in graduate school I worked with radioactive californium-252.
Dr. Rama performed the surgeries to place and remove the radiation plaque, as well as the follow-up laser surgery. The team also included a specialist in nuclear medicine, and a medical oncologist. I owe my life to them.
