Yeah, the way these work it’s basically like a pregnancy test. Any line at all counts and false positives are really unlikely. The only caveat is that past the half hour window for reading the results, you can get dye bleed that could be mistaken for a line.

One issue I've seen with some brands of test, particularly if you read them early while the strip is too wet - the spot where they printed the test antibody line might have slightly different wetting properties and thus be (barely!) visually identifiable. (But it won't be colored at all.)
