Is the pregnancy test paper accurate?

Patient's question:

Is the accuracy of pregnancy tests using test strips high? How much confidence can we have?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, blood HCG is more accurate than traditional urine HCG, with smaller errors and the ability to determine pregnancy earlier. It can also detect pregnancy accurately 10 days after intercourse. The accuracy rate of pregnancy test sticks is much lower than that of blood HCG, generally around 50% in most cases.
