Is it safe?

Two points:
I agree with Jolly and Mik. If she hasn't seen him for months, I would not think there would be urgent on her part to see him right now, especially will everything going on.
Second - University of Illinois has got approval for a saliva test they developed. Appears to be much easier then the "sticking the stick up your nose test"
-
No way.

It's approved under the Emergency Act. I've seen some absolutely shitty tests approved under that act, then later yanked from the market.
Don't fall for the bally-hoo.

Thoughts?
My gut says, "Nah." I don't trustAsymptomatic? Or did he develop symptoms? What was the reason for taking the test in the first place? Has he had a followup test to make sure that he's clear?
How does your daughter feel? She's an adult...

Sore throat and a fever.

Nope

"I don’t even want to touch anything that he touches. If we were outside, I wouldn’t care much, but nothing indoors...Yeah I’m staying away...Well at least I know I’m not overthinking...He tested positive on 8/6."

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

My concern wouldn't be him. It would be everybody... Chances are good that at least one of the other party-goers was exposed to him since he was originally infected or was exposed to whoever infected him originally...

Of the set of all humans who have told me they're doing shit like that in a "totally safe" way, the subset of those humans who have actually kept their word continues to be null.
