Question 1

About a month ago, I had a throat infection that lasted for 25 days. My doctor said it was a viral infection and did not recommend any tests. After I recovered, I decided to do a COVID antibody test on my own. The report shows IgG negative but total antibodies positive. I am now feeling fine. Does this mean I had a COVID infection, or can other viral infections also show total antibodies positive? Was my doctor wrong in diagnosing it as a non COVID viral infection?

Question 2

I recently had a bit of fever and a sore throat, so I tested myself for COVID 19 antibodies. Could you please help me understand my test report and advise on what it means? I have attached the report for your reference.

Question 3

My father tested COVID 19 positive on 26 July (sample taken on 23 July). After home isolation and treatment, he was retested on 12 August, and the report came today (13 August). The interpretation says 2019 nCoV negative, but I am confused about the MS2 gene detected part. Is he still contagious? Does he need to continue home isolation for a few more days?

What do I do if I am covid positive?

Isolate yourself in a room especially the first 7 days because during this time a patient is most infections. Keep the room ventilated and wear a high quality mask. Do not travel. Eat small healthy meals frequentely to fight the virus.
