How can I get the COVID-19 antibody test?

The COVID-19 antibody test is available at urgent care centers , walk-in clinics , pharmacies, lab test providers, and hospitals, says the CDC. Contact your healthcare provider directly to find out if it offers the COVID antibody test, or use Solv to find a testing provider in your area. Solv also allows you to make a same- or next-day appointment.

How do COVID-19 antibody tests differ from diagnostic tests?

COVID-19 antibody tests can tell you if you have had a previous COVID-19 infection, says the FDA. In comparison, a diagnostic COVID test can tell you if you are currently infected by COVID-19. If your goal is to find out whether you currently have COVID-19, ask your healthcare provider about your options for diagnostic tests, or use Solv to find a nearby COVID-19 testing provider.

What should I expect when I take the antibody test?

According to New York City Health, the COVID-19 antibody test requires giving a blood sample. During the test, your healthcare provider will take a sample of your blood with a quick finger prick or by drawing blood from a vein in your arm. The NIH adds that this test usually only takes about five minutes. Your healthcare provider will contact you to discuss your results after they return.

So thank GOD they were open Sunday evening during the Bills game as I had to get 9 stiches and they were all awesome. From the front desk staff to the nurse to the PA who again thank god was there to stich me up so I did not have to go sit in a nightmare hospital emergency room as I would probably would still be there or have bled to death. Bottom line is I was in and out in 40 minutes and was able to finish watching the agony of defeat at home with a cold beer and finish my pizza- just watch out for the rocker pizza blade cutters- they are sharp as hell !!
