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.
Please note, a positive result on an antibody test does not confirm immunity. You should follow government guidance on local lockdown restrictions, social distancing and self isolation if you or someone in your household/bubble develops symptoms.
Does the COVID-19 antibody test tell me if I’m immune from the virus?
No, this test cannot tell you if you have immunity. The test simply confirms that you have been exposed to the virus or not.
A positive result means that there were COVID-19 antibodies in your blood sample. This can be because you've previously had the virus or received the COVID-19 vaccine.
When will my COVID-19 antibody blood sampling kit arrive?
Your sampling kit will arrive within 2 working days of your order being approved by our clinicians.

How will I receive my COVID-19 antibody results?

What happens if I test negative for COVID-19 antibodies?
