Testing positive on antigens does not mean that person is infectious, nor that person has symptoms. It is very contradictory to give this type of news without proper wordings or terminology by somebody professional in the field of viruses.

How I understand it, vaccines are anyway full of "antigens", so whoever received vaccine is also supposed to test positive on antigens. Testing positive does not mean person is infectious or that person can spread the virus.
