Yeah. They need to collect actual cells (hence, a bit of a scrape) from the warmest (most hidden and sensitive area) of your oropharynx. Not very pleasant, yeah. But if they don't get a good scrape of that warmest place they might not find the virus even if it's there. Like cervical smears, apparently. Not very pleasant.
