Accepted Answer

A positive result to the Antibody Test indicates that you may have had previous exposure to COVID-19 and your body has developed antibodies to fend off the virus.

Question 5

Can I take the Antibody test if I have symptoms?

Accepted Answer

We are unable to diagnose COVID-19 based solely on antibody test results. If you are currently experiencing symptoms, we ecourage you to get a Covid-19 nasal swab test to determine if you have an active infection. 
 
What are the COVID symptoms I should look for? COVID-19 symptoms* include the following:
 • Fever or chills
 • Cough
 • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
 • Fatigue
 • Muscle or body aches
 • Headache
 • New loss of taste or smell
 • Sore throat
 • Congestion or runny nose
 • Nausea or vomiting
 • Diarrhea
*This does not include all possible symptoms. We will update as information becomes available from the CDC.

What if I'm actively infected with Covid-19?

If you have tested positive for Covid-19 already, you will not have antibodies until 2 weeks after your infection. There is no need for you to take the Antibody Test.

Different Types of Covid-19 tests?
