with the hme tests> if they test positive they sure as hell aren't going to tell anyone outside their home
and be willing to bet even positive and no symptoms or very slight ones, they will head off to work rather than have no income

I wish I knew for sure whether I'd had Covid, I've felt so generally crappy for months. If it just means my 2 x Sinovac and 1 x AZ were effective I guess that's good news at least.

Carry on.

I've had 2x AZ and 1x Sino, took antigen blood test yesterday, negative. Make of that what you will

Antigen test = do you have Covid now (nasal swab)
Antibody test = do you have antibodies from vaccinations or previous infection (blood test)

Did you take the right one?

This was the one in case any wondering, comes with pin pricker and sample collector/pippet.

Ok so you only got the C (Control) line and no other? Could be a false negative. After three shots you really should have antibodies. I'd try again if I were you.

I tried and my partner who has 2x sino did it also both just control lines. Only reason I did it was because my partner tested positive a month ago for it so I wanted to check if that had left antibodies behind in her.
