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?

If antibody (IgG) is reactive, you may donate plasma if you meet eligibility. Please take a COVID 19 IgG Antibody test to confirm prior exposure. Take this test before proceeding.

I have done an Antibody IgM ELISA test for my mom and dad after both doses of vaccination and after they recovered from COVID 19, but the test results show no antibodies. Can you please explain the report interpretation and is there anything to worry about?

I recovered from Covid on May 2 and was tested positive on April 15. Should I get vaccinated now or should I wait for a few weeks? I took an antibody test last week and no antibodies were found in my report.

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?
