False positives are not a thing. You had 2 true positives and 2 false negatives, and you didn’t take a PCR test. PCR suffers from high levels of false negatives as well.https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1327305722384719872 …
if the errors are uncorrelated, yes the chance of being true positive rather than false positive is much greater, but i don't know for sure if that assumption can be made

Evidence of antigen false positive?

These tests have extremely high specificity. PCR is effectively 100% as well. Stop feeding the truther anti-science trolls like elon musk.pic.twitter.com/pyKzLywhCV

The BD Veritor system seems to have 97.5% specificity. If it were just 1 - (0.025)^2 yeah that's pretty close to zero. btw: this new study shows that PCR can have a lot of false negatives later in the course of the disease https://twitter.com/DanielleFong/status/1327383053379964929?s=20 … https://www.fda.gov/media/139755/download …pic.twitter.com/hstAlo2U3c

The chance is zero. Leave it at that.
