PCR tests don't analyze your DNA. They are only testing for the presence of some characteristic virus DNA segments. Other than showing your infection status, no information is obtained and consequently cannot be stored.

The swab has plenty of the patient's DNA. I interpreted the comment you're replying to as wondering if the original swabs are physically kept.
