Yes, you likely have contracted the virus with those symptoms and family history. Yes, I have seen cases with repeated negative tests even with PCR. Even with negative test, you should be in quarantine for 10 days although your symptoms will resolve after 5 days.

The accuracy of the home kits vary but are quite accurate. Ensure a good sample. You most likely have COVID 19. The whole family should self isolate, and please consider pediatric vaccination as eligible.
