/////So my question is does that mean i cant take a PCR test again because it will still say positive for a while?//// Correct. If your lateral flow test is negative in 5 days time you can return to work. If it is positive however, then depending upon the requirements of you company and if you are asymptomatic

Correct.

""Did they tell you why and what you are expected to do if you test positive? Do they test for any other infectious diseases that you may contract? Did they say when this might stop?""
All they said was that i had to now do a Ltf test on day 5 and day 6 to get back to work...
I asked about the PCR test because i heard it would still pick up the virus even if i was negative and that would cause problems when i visit other work places
""Do they test for any other infectious diseases that you may contract? Did they say when this might stop?""
No and No

Is this question really
Do I have to comply with my employers instructions?
answer : yes if you wish to continue to be employed.
[ salutary story: frenz employer: The office had been dispersed and worked at home. This was the first day the office came back together. Lady came and worked for two hours 9 - 11 and then jumped up and said "I forgot to say, I have a covid test booked...." They fired her and the office was laboriously dispersed for two weeks]

//If you go abroad to somewhere that requires a test or proof of vaccination would you stand there at the airport and argue your point.//
I'm not talking about abroad. I'm talking about here in the UK. There is no legal requirement for Covid testing in any scenario here . None whatsoever (certainly not in England - I don't keep up to date with the other nations but I believe they are the same). Some people being admitted for hospital procedures may require one so that their treatment can be properly determined (in the same way some are tested for other ailments such as blood disorders or diabetes). The NHS is advising patient-facing staff to test themselves twice weekly even if asymptomatic. I can (just about) understand that though with most of the country already having been exposed to the virus, and/or having been vaccinated, it seems a little pointless. Other than that, I'm interested to learn why some organisations are still insisting on it. Nobody seems to know why.
If I go abroad I comply with any requirements that country makes of me (or, if I cannot or will not comply with them, I don't go).
//Is this question really

Answer - not if the requirements can be shown to be unnecessary, unreasonable or disproportionate (to the perceived threat). I would suggest that, in most circumstances, insisting on an uncomfortable medical test being taken to detect a widespread and, for most people, a not particularly serious disease, is all three of those. This is somewhat different because jadj does not have an employer - he is employed by himself. He has customers or clients.
