Are unique reaction rates always positive?

I believe unique reactions are always positive because even when the concentration of the product decreases there is a negative sign implemented to make the rate positive. The rates for the reactants and products have to be proportional

I think they are always positive. I am pretty sure Dr. Lavelle said something about there is no such thing as a negative rate, at least for what we are doing
