If i get the covid-19 vaccine and go get tested for covid-19, will my test come out positive because of the vaccine and antibodies?

COVID: IF YOU GET THE VACCINE YOUR ANTIBODIES WILL BE DETECTED IN ABOUT 10 DAYS - SO IF YOU HAVE A BLOOD TEST IT WILL BE POSITIVE. NASAL TESTING WILL BE NEGATIVE.

COVID 19 vaccine: Having COVID 19 vaccine will not cause COVID 19 PCR or antigen test to become positive. However, antibodies will form which can be picked up on serology testing.

See below: Test for Covid -19 nucleic acid will not be positive. Assays for Covid-19 antibodies will be positive, however, it is plausible to distinguish the antibody response from Covid -19 infection from that due to vaccine. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
