The official usage scenario for LFTs in the UK is to catch asymptomatic infections, while you are in the most contagious phase. That scope has crept to the point that people are using them for symptomatic Covid.

“It is most likely that if someone’s LFT is negative but their PCR is positive then this is because they are not at peak transmissible stage.”

Because you asked for a source about LFTs and the link between positive test and contagiousness. Or have I become extremely confused?

Edit: ah, I see the confusion now. Sorry, thought you wanted a source about pos LFT indicating peak contagiousness.
