The IgM antibody would be positive if you had a recent infection. The IgG antibody would mean you had the infection at some point, not necessarily recent. The Covid antibody test is really not that useful for an individual patient-get vaccinated in order to protect yourself from infection. The vast majority of vaccinated people make antibodies so get the vaccine!! Good luck!!

If you have not been vaccinated, get the vaccine, even if you have antibody from a natural infection, the vaccine will provide additional protection. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
