A positive result means you've been exposed to the COVID-19 virus. This could be due to catching COVID-19 in the past and/or having a COVID-19 vaccine.

You will also be told your antibody level. Your antibody level is the number of antibodies in your blood. If you test positive this can be anything from 0.8-2500+. The level of antibodies can suggest your body’s response to either the virus or vaccine.

What are antibodies?

Antibodies are small molecules produced by the immune system to fight infections. When the body has a new infection, the immune system starts to produce an antibody called IgM which has some activity against the infection. Over time, as the body clears the infection, it creates a better, more targeted antibody called IgG and it stops producing the IgM antibody. Often these IgG antibodies stay in the body for a while and provide protection against future infection with the same bug. Over time though, the body may stop producing even IgG antibodies.

When should I take an antibody test?

Studies show that antibody tests are most accurate when taken three weeks after being vaccinated or being infected with coronavirus. If you test before this, there's a chance your body wont have had time to make sufficient antibodies to detect.

How long do coronavirus antibodies last?

Antibodies persist in the blood for different lengths of time for different people. Data suggests that most people have antibodies for at least 6 months after getting the virus. We don't yet know how long antibodies last after vaccination.

Test accuracy

The test has specificity of 98.8% and a sensitivity of 99.8%.

What do the results show?

This test will provide confirmation of a Positive or Negative result.

It will quantify the exact number of antibodies that are detected in your finger prick blood sample: between 0 to >2,500 units/ml.

Should I take this test even if I didn't have COVID-19 symptoms?

You can take the antibody test whether you have had symptoms or not.
