A member asked:
How accurate/reliable are covid antibody tests? for how long after a possible/probable covid infection would these tests indicate the presence of antibodies? weeks? months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different tests: Different types of tests have different performance. In general the tests are reliable. Antibodies are expected to appear in about 2 weeks after the onset of infection. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine.
