all ways had question marks if i had been exposed to Covid and was asked again last Friday so am now having the covid blood test to see if there are any antibodies.

what it won't tell is if i have covid now.

the person is coming out this afternoon to do the test.

my nerves will be jingling but also curious to see what the results are which i should get hopefully by Monday.
 
Hope it puts your mind at rest @mikeydt1

Does your recent vaccination have any potential to muddle your results? I know there are now different tests to assess the level of antibodies an individual has achieved, post vaccination, and a different one to try to detect an historic COVID episode, and any remaining antibodies.

There are commercial labs offering these, but I can't for the life of me recall who this morning.
