Anyone receive monoclonal antibodies for high risk Covid?

My dear husband(88) contracted Covid at a 100th Birthday party celebration. He developed symptoms 3 days after. He tested and was positive. I had no symptoms thought high risk with asthma and O2 24/7. Our physician geriatrician prescribed the antiviral Paxlovid for both of us- to protect me as well. I tested neg 4 times over the 5 days. He got much better and I stayed well—- until he relapsed, became infectious and I caught it.

We took great lengths to quarantine at home, seperate sleeping on different levels, eating in seperate rooms and masked when near each other. We disinfected surfaces- used seperate bathrooms. All to no avail. I suspect this devilish virus stays suspended in the air for some time.

Monday past I woke up feeling terrible. Tested positive for covid as my husband continues to recover. I requested the antibody infusion which I received yesterday. Today have no Covid symptoms but did feel very dizzy I suspect from the cold remedies I needed yesterday. I

stopped tapering to 9,5 and stayed at 10. I feel well enough to resume my taper tomorrow.

Anyone with a similar experience?

I am sorry to hear this. I have posted separately on the subject because it is U.K. specific.

Apologies, my post I was seeking information on Covid testing policy in the UK . I assumed that you were in America. Just below your post it says United States. Is that an error?

I currently have viral symptoms, and am not firing on both engines, just ignore me.

we had completely crossed wires and my post added no value at all. I think I’ll retire for the evening. 🙃

You are fortunate to have a house which lets you both quarantine separately

I could have locked OH in the ensuite and left food on the balcony ... Only got 3 rooms here!

it made no difference - even with the antiviral remedy Paxlovid.

it made no difference ; I still caught it from him despite masking, seperation. This virus is suspended in air like measles. When we weren’t near each other and eating I breathed the same air. Because of the heat and humidity we did not open windows; we used air-conditioning - standard here. I even have air cleaners with hepa filters in many rooms because of my asthma.

This virus is a devil.
