Just to clarify for others, the antigen (disease) test is different than the antibody (immunity) test. A person with the antigen doesn't necessarily have antibodies yet, so an antibody test would be negative in that case. Similarly, a person who has recovered from the disease would test negative for it.

Then there's all the uncertainty of the validity of both tests. It's a data point though. Some accuracy is usually better than none at all.
