also known as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) IgG Ab in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Rapid immunoassay
The COVID 19 IgG Antibody Test is a serology blood test that detects Immunoglobulin G antibodies to SARS CoV 2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These antibodies are produced by your immune system after exposure to the virus. A positive result indicates that your body mounted an immune response due to prior infection. Antibodies typically develop within days to weeks after infection. Most individuals who are infected develop detectable IgG antibodies within one to two weeks after symptom onset. Some people who never experienced noticeable symptoms may still develop antibodies, meaning prior exposure can occur even without illness. This test is designed to identify past exposure, not active infection. It does not detect the virus itself and should not be used to diagnose current COVID-19. If you are experiencing symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, or loss of taste or smell, you should seek a diagnostic test through your healthcare provider. Understanding your antibody status may help provide insight into past exposure. While antibodies suggest an immune response, research continues regarding the duration and level of protection they may provide. This test offers valuable information to support informed health decisions. What Is Included In This Test? This test includes: Measurement of COVID-19 IgG antibodiesLaboratory analysis to detect immune response to SARS CoV 2Clear positive or negative antibody result This is an antibody screening test and does not diagnose active COVID-19 infection. Why Does This Test Matter? Many individuals were exposed to COVID 19 without knowing it, especially those who experienced mild or no symptoms. Identifying antibodies can confirm prior exposure. For individuals who want to understand their immune history, this test provides clarity. It may also be required for certain occupational or personal reasons.
