Coronavirus Anti Body Test

[Bcol]

OK, I got my Covid antibody test result back today from Covidence. The result has come back positive which I guess is good as it shows I have some antibodies, or at least I did have on the 4th July, but apart from helping with their long term study I don't think it really means very much. Certainly doesn't mean I won't catch Covid but if it helps with future progress them I'm OK with that.

Haven't got mine yet but sounds as though it wont be long yet.

Glad for you, and the others! It has to be good news that you’ve had a response 🙂

How do you get an antibody test. Is this a private test?

[Bcol in reply to Wenben]

I'm part of the Covidence UK study group and was asked to take part. I think a number of us here are in the same study. I think they are going to start new round in September if you want to apply through their website.

I guess seeing positive was somewhat reassuring. Did the result come with any number reading? I did a private one and it came back with a number of 8, which is very low. This study was done with RA patients but it gives the number cut off they used. thelancet.com/journals/lanr...

No, just that it was positive.

Good for you Bcol, I did mine on 3rd July and sadly mine has come back negative!!! Disappointed but not surprised really.

[SueMacD]

My result was negative too. Very disappointed. I had Atrazeneca.

[Bcol in reply to SueMacD]

[Norski1 in reply to Bcol]
