Has anyone had an antibody test?

If so, did you pay? Do you act any differently after the results?

Does anyone know where the most accurate antibody test in the Baton Rouge area could be had?

Wife (no pics) had it through her job. We thought it would come back positive because we got sick in February pretty bad with Rona symptoms. Nope. Negative.

Yes. Positive. I got sick the day after the national championship game.

Work covered it, tested the whole office. Came back negative

I got one last week that was negative. Dr called it in and I just went to Quest.
My doc said she’s sent over 250 people for testing and only 6 came back positive leading her to believe there are problems with the tests giving false negatives

I did one through Labcorp. You can sign up online and it costs $10 with insurance. I had to go to a labcorp office where they drew blood and sent it off to one of their labs
My test came back with no signs of antibodies so it didn’t change anything for me

Gave blood three weeks ago today... came with the antibody test. Still waiting for the results. Vitalant is slow.

My friends wife went to go take one. They gave her the regular test instead.

I got one since it was free. Came back positive. I had a mild cough in February, only thing I could think of

My daughter did .. they're going to bill us if anything and hers was negative so she's just being a normal 19 yo.
Posted on 6/24/20 at 12:37 pm to Count deMonet
I had it. I have not gotten my bill yet, but I tested negative. I am told it will be around $90.
Posted on 6/24/20 at 12:38 pm to Count deMonet
Yes, early may. Came back negative.
Was told the test were 30% accurate then, not sure if they are any better now.

Got a free one today from work actually. Came back negative

My wife tested positive twice for Covid. Once at UAB and once at a doc in the box. She was very ill for several weeks. She tested negative for antibodies a month later.

My company paid. Nobody had the antibodies after an estimated 25000 customer interactions.
Posted on 6/24/20 at 1:01 pm to Count deMonet
I had one. Did not pay a cent, even for the teledoc appointment required beforehand.
Mine was negative. Thought I might’ve had it in January as I had a fever and a bad hacking cough from my chest area. Guess it was bronchitis or something.

I've had it done twice. First time was about 3 weeks after a positive test (antibody test was positive for both IGG and IGM). The second time was about 2 months later to see if both were still present (both were).
My employer manufactures these specific tests. Of the 4000 employees we have, I was the only one with a positive COVID-19 test (we have tested around 2,700 people). Out of 200+ people tested for antibodies, I was the only one to test positive for them (so we have not seen any false positives).
ETA...it was free for me, and I sat in the hallway until the results were shown (can take up to 15 minutes...mine lit up in about 2 minutes each time).
