Does anti bodies in blood mean you have an infection.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Necessarily: Antibodies in your blood means that you have been exposed to whatever the antibodies are against. It may be a current infection or one that you have had, been vaccinated for, or allergens that you have been exposed to.
