Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just got a coronavirus antibody test this morning, results are due Friday.
I'm in Colorado, limited testing but I was the second one in line, they swabbed the back of my throat, similar to a strep test.
Update, just received my results, negative on both tests, no antibodies unfortunately...just went back to work today

It's like a demon, and is treated with the same mystical fear and superstition by many.

A positive antibody test would mean you were exposed to the virus at sometime and had an immune response

(8,914 posts)two also did the antibody test, it wasn't very clear on their website and I went to the wrong one so I got the blood draw antibody test a few minutes ago, results in three days

(8,914 posts)the three locations (which is wrong) they didn't want to run the antibody test if I have an active infection but they agreed after I explained to them, one, I wasn't asked if I suspected had an active infection at the first site yesterday, and two, their website was not clear about the which tests were available at the three locations.
and they don't know either...I hope the test is accurate.
