How did they test? Testing for viral presence is costly and slow. Normally one is tested for the presence of antibodies. Which means you do not ever test negative. You test positive or not positive. If you test not positive, your chances are 50-50.

Yes, is possible. In house test checks for A and B, not C strains

The test only tests for a few major strains, not all of them.
