Covid Antibody Testing
A blood sample can be taken to check to see if there are specific antibodies to Covid-19 present. These are specialised proteins and indicate if you had a previous infection with the virus. These antibodies help to fight off the disease and are only produced by the body after exposure and infection has occurred. They can usually take 8-10 days to appear but, occasionally, this can take longer. To ensure the individuals body has had sufficient time to create the antibodies, and to avoid a false negative result, it is recommended that this test should be done 14 or more days after the individual started to become sick. Some people also remain without symptoms even though they have been infected and during this ‘asymptomatic’ phase they may pass the illness on to others. It is also important to understand that not every individual creates circulating antibodies even after confirmed infection.
Warning:
- The presence of antibodies does not necessarily mean that the individual is protected against future attacks of Covid-19.
- Please note, antibody tests should not be used to diagnose someone as being currently sick with COVID-19. To check for a current infection, you need a viral test which checks respiratory samples, such as a swab from inside your nose.
