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.

After being declined by 3 other North Shore facilities, I was treated at the Immediate Care Center - Lincoln Village for an acute UTI as the last patient of the day on Tuesday, July 28th. I had the most amazing care from the team of receptionist, medical assistant and nurse practitioner. I was welcomed by the smiling receptionist who called me when it was time for me to be seen while I waited outdoors. She gave me a specimen cup when I re-entered so that the immediate results would be ready. The medical assistant took my history and vitals and was also extremely pleasant and responsible. And Amy Westlake Milroy, APRN, was amazing -- so professional and friendly. She reviewed and discussed my medical and prescription history, explored other possible reasons for my discomfort, and examined my heart, kidneys and abdomen for possible complications. After obtaining the specimen results, she agreed with my presumption of infection and forwarded my prescription of choice that looked from my history that it would be sensitive to this infection to my pharmacy. I was able to start on the meds in just an hour and am so grateful.
