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.

Thank you to the staff of Hometown Urgent Care in Xenia, OH. I've been researching places that are doing COVID testing. I was so happy to see that testing was happening in a location that I pass every day. With easy-to-adhere-to safety precautions in place, like remaining in your car to fill out the intake form and then waiting for your turn to be seen, this was a breezy testing venture. Staff was friendly and helpful. The nurse was very good-natured over the phone and in person and answered all my questions. The place is very clean with all the safety measures in place. The doctor was super nice, made me feel heard, listened to my concerns, and was so skilled at administering the nasal swab. Zip zop zoop. A little discomfort for maybe 3 seconds. Just like he described -- it's like when you're swimming and you get salt water up your nose. The exact same feeling. No big deal. I was so sorry I had been so scared of this test and reluctant to get it. This was my first visit and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are doing such a wonderful service to your community and in such a pleasant and non-frightening way. You are my heroes. Keep up the outstanding work! Thank you!!!
