Well... it depends on what the test is for and whether a patient hopes the results might be! For example, an 18-year old male might dread that STD testing will be positive--- but to his relief, it is negative! A 33-year old woman who desperately wants a baby hopes the blood test is positive---and is devastated from hearing the test is negative--again. A "test" is only one small part of health "care".

What reason could there be for a negative result when the antigen is actually present?

A negative result despite the presence of the antigen can occur due to several factors, including improper sample collection or handling, insufficient sensitivity of the test used, or the timing of the test in relation to the infection stage. Additionally, the presence of interfering substances in the sample can hinder the test's ability to detect the antigen. Laboratory errors, such as incorrect test procedures or equipment malfunctions, might also contribute to false-negative results.
