Antibody test negative after covid
I had all the covid symptoms but rt pcr was negative. This is the 4th week and I am on the road to recovery. To confirm covid I got the total antibody test done that came as negative. I am confused now. Is there any way to figure out if I had covid?

Covid symptoms mimics many other ailments
So if you came negative so many times, take the treatment your doctor gives you.
You will be fine.

It could be due to not enough antibodies formed in your body and rtp r can be negative even though virus can be there in your body for 3-5months post recovery but not in sufficient amount to be dtected by rt pcr

If your antibodies are normal or below normal it's unlikely you had covid Although patients with mild covid or asymptomatic disease do have normal antibodies .It suggest that you don't have enough antibodies and you are not protected so get vaccinated asap
Thankyou
