Still Testing Positive for COVID

Hello Everyone. I have CLL. I tested positive for Covid a week ago Sunday. Started Paxlovid the day after. I've improved tremendously. Hubby tested positive 3 days ago. I retested today and it still shows positive. Very frustrated. Any advice? I assume I should still quarrantine? Is this normal for CLL patients?

Hi there, I tested positive with big red line for 16 days then faint line for 3 days even after starting Paxlovid on day 5. Delays getting Paxlovid as I tested positive on Friday and the powers that be moved so slowly over weekend even though I rang several times. I isolated until I had negative test. Hope you are OK Sue

Hi, I started Paxlovid the same day I tested positive and was still testing positive 12 days later. It seems to be pretty normal for immuno-compromised people.

I just wish I could get Paxlovid even though I don't feel as bad today as yesterday

So sorry. My Hematologist's office said I could test positive for 90 days. Thrills.
