Question 1

Hello, I was diagnosed COVID 19 positive with mild symptoms and quarantined at home while taking necessary precautions and medications. My follow up test was conducted and I received a negative result. I want to get an antibody test done, but I have been told that it is necessary to wait a few days after recovery for antibodies to form. Could you please advise exactly when I will be eligible for the antibody test? Additionally, if the test shows sufficient antibodies, when would I be eligible to donate plasma?

Question 2

My daughter received her COVID antibody test report today, which shows IgG is 2.62 and total antibodies (ELISA) is 0.36. She was previously infected with COVID and tested negative in October 2020. Should she get vaccinated now, or wait for some time? Does she have sufficient antibodies?

Question 3

I tested COVID negative last month, but I had all the COVID symptoms and all my family members were positive, so it was most likely a false negative. Now, if my antibody test shows that I was actually infected with the virus, can I donate plasma based on that antibody test report?

Your antibody levels are modest and may not provide strong future protection. Vaccination is advised 4 to 8 weeks post infection for robust immunity. Please take the vaccine accordingly.
