Testing: Did you spend time with her? How long after you last contact with her were you tested? If you were positive- and took test early - your viral titers could have been low. “The mean incubation period is 5 days. About 97% of the people who get infected & develop symptoms will do so within 11 to 12 days, & about 99% will within 14 days.”
