The Antibody Rapid Test is typically used to show whether a patient has developed antibodies for COVID-19 after exposure or vaccination. This test does not tell if you have an active infection. It is performed by taking a blood sample. According to the CDC these tests are not FDA authorized but not 100% accurate. Results for this test can take 15-30 mins, however depending on patient volume results of this test at our facility may take longer.
