FAQs

If you believe you may have COVID-19 or test positive for COVID-19 and have mild symptoms, the following steps can help prevent the disease from spreading to others:
  • Stay home
    • Stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home
    • Restrict any activities outside your home, except for getting medical care
    • Avoid public areas, including work and school
    • Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis
  • Cover your nose and mouth
    • If you are sick, wear a facemask when you are around other people or pets
    • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and throw away used tissues
  • Wash hands
    • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
    • Wash your hands especially after blowing your nose, coughing, sneezing, going to the bathroom, or before eating or preparing food
    • If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol
    • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, mouth, and other people with unwashed hands
  • Do not share
    • Do not share dishes, cups, eating utensils, towels, or bedding with other people or pets
    • After using personal items, they should be washed thoroughly with soap and water
  • Clean and disinfect
    • Clean high touch surfaces such as counters, tabletops, doorknobs, bathroom fixtures, toilets, phones, keyboards, tablets, and bedside tables
    • Clean any surfaces that may come in contact with body fluids, blood, or stool
    • Use a household cleaning spray or wipes
    • Immediately remove and wash clothes or bedding that have body fluids, blood, or stool on them
If someone in your household is told to quarantine because they’ve been exposed to COVID-19, you should quarantine as well. This is especially true if you’ve been in close contact with that person. It’s possible for you to have the virus even if you don’t have symptoms. Quarantine should last 14 days from your last close contact with this person in order to see whether you develop symptoms. Limit close contact with others as much as possible (stay at least 6 feet apart) and avoid having any unnecessary visitors, especially people who are at high risk of severe illness. If you have questions, contact your healthcare provider for additional information.
Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown that there is a higher burden of illness and death from COVID-19 among certain racial and ethnic minority groups. Based on data from New York City, Black and Hispanic people have more cases of COVID-19, as well as higher rates of hospitalization and death due to COVID-19 than White and Asian people. More studies are underway to confirm this data and reduce the impact of COVID-19 on these communities. Whether or not you get infected with COVID-19 depends on a number of factors. The good news is that you can control many of these factors. Visit the CDC website for more information.
Researchers as well as state and federal governments are currently monitoring the number of COVID-19 cases, complications, and deaths in minority groups, which will help improve the management of patients, distribution of resources, and public health information. Additionally, there are many resources available within the community, such as free and low-cost health services, grocery delivery services, and educational materials. Please contact your healthcare provider or local health department for more information.
All COVID-19 antibody tests look for antibodies in the blood specific to the virus. There are antibody tests that look for one specific antibody (such as an IgG test). Other antibody tests look for the presence of multiple antibodies (such as a total antibody test). Both types of tests are when trying to check if you have been exposed to the virus. There is no advantage in checking for on antibody versus another. IgM and IgG antibodies are most useful when checking for a past exposure to COVID-19. The CDC does not recommend testing for IgA antibodies.
Getting an antibody test too soon after being infected may cause a false negative result. It usually takes around 10 to 18 days after being infected with COVID-19 for your body to produce enough antibodies to be detected in the blood. Some people may take even longer to develop antibodies or may not develop enough antibodies to be detected by the test. It is recommended that you contact your healthcare provider or local health department to see if retesting is needed.
Some studies have shown that individuals with more severe symptoms develop higher antibody levels. However, although having antibodies usually gives immunity from further infection, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have these antibodies – in any amount – are protected against future COVID-19 infections.
You can have antibodies from an asymptomatic COVID-19 infection. An asymptomatic infection is when you are infected but do not show any symptoms.
If usually takes 10 to 18 days for antibodies to be detected in your blood. Because antibodies develop over time, it’s possible that your antibody levels can change depending on when you tested. However, this varies by individual. Talk with your healthcare provider or local health department about your results to see if retesting is advised.
The best way to protect yourself is to avoid situations in which you may be exposed to the virus. If you or someone you care for is at higher risk of getting sick with COVID-19, take steps to protect them, as well as yourself, from getting sick. These steps include:
  • Stay home and follow isolation practices
  • Wash your hands often
  • Stay away from people you know are sick
  • Wear simple cloth face coverings in public settings
Recent data suggests that COVID-19 has a greater impact on certain racial and ethnic minority groups. Health differences are often due to social and economic conditions. In public health emergencies, these conditions can isolate people from the resources they need to prepare for and respond to outbreaks. Some conditions contribute to a higher risk of getting sick with COVID-19 for certain racial and ethnic minority groups. These conditions include:
  • Some racial and ethnic minority groups are more likely to live in densely populated areas and have multi-generational households, making it difficult to practice prevention and social distancing.
  • Racially segregated and medically underserved neighborhoods are linked to more underlying health conditions. These groups have higher rates of chronic conditions – such as heart disease, diabetes, and lunch disease – that increase the severity of COVID-19.
  • Some racial and ethnic minority groups are overrepresented in jails, prisons, and detention centers, which have specific risks due to close living quarters, shared food services, etc.
  • Some racial and ethnic minority groups don’t speak English or speak English as a second language, sometimes creating a language barrier when it comes to access to care.
Prolonged viral shedding is what happens when parts of a virus are detectable in a person for a period of time even after they’ve recovered from an illness. For some individuals who had or have COVID-19, this virus may be in their test samples for up to six weeks. It is not known whether individuals are able to spread the virus during this period. The best available evidence suggests that most individuals who have recovered are likely no longer infectious, but there is not enough evidence at this time to confirm this. If you have questions, contact your healthcare provider for additional information.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ​guidelines about this may at first seem confusing. These guidelines are:
  • Those who have been​ ​infected with COVID-19 ​ should isolate. They may be able to stop isolating once symptoms have improved, and it has been at least 10 days since symptoms first appeared. Those who have never had symptoms may be able to stop isolating 10 days after testing.
  • Those who have​ been possibly​ exposed to COVID-19 ​ should quarantine. They may be able to stop quarantining if they don’t develop symptoms, and it has been at least 14 days after possible exposure.
This means that it’s possible for a person ​diagnosed ​ with COVID-19 to stop isolation before someone ​possibly exposed can stop quarantining.
On an individual level, an antibody test looks for antibodies in the blood. Your immune system makes antibody proteins to help fight infections. If you were exposed to COVID-19, an antibody test will show whether or not you’ve developed antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. An antibody test cannot tell you whether you have a current COVID-19 infection. On a population level, antibody testing can give researchers a sense of how many people have been exposed to and infected by COVID-19. In the future, antibody testing may show whether someone has immunity against COVID-19, meaning that they cannot get infected again. If antibodies make people immune to COVID-19, it can help inform leaders and public health officials about whether the population has reached herd immunity. Herd immunity is when a l​arge percentage of a population has become immune to COVID-19, which can protect those people who are not immune.
PWNHealth only uses COVID-19 tests that have received Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). These approved tests minimize the chance of inaccurate, false positive, or false negative results. The FDA has found that tests that meet certain standards are of superior quality and have high sensitivity and specificity* (measurements of accuracy). PWNHealth will not use tests that have been shown to have low sensitivity and specificity.​ ​For additional information, please reach out to the lab directly. *​Actual sensitivity and specificity may vary between test manufacturers. A sample that is not properly collected may also result in an inaccurate result.
Antibody tests do not show whether a person is currently infected. Therefore, they should not used in place of a PCR test to diagnose a current infection.
There is no test that can tell you when you can visit someone who is at risk for more severe symptoms of COVID-19. Check with your primary healthcare provider or local health department to help determine when the time is right to make such visits. Be sure to continue to follow federal, state, and local government guidance regarding social distancing and isolation.
The antibody tests and the molecular tests (together referred to as “tests”) have not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); The FDA has authorized the use of some tests by certain laboratories under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA); The antibody tests have been authorized for the detection of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 only, and not for the detection of any other viruses or pathogens; The molecular (PCR) tests have been authorized for the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 only, and not for the detection of any other viruses or pathogens; and, Tests are only authorized for as long as the circumstances exist to justify the authorization of emergency use of in vitro diagnostics for detection and/or diagnosis of COVID-19 under Section 564(b)(1) of the Act, 21 U.S.C. § 360bbb-3(b)(1), unless the authorization is terminated or revoked sooner.
There are three different types of antibodies: IgM, IgG, and IgA.
  • Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is produced as the body’s first response to a COVID-19 infection. Generally, IgM may provide short-term protection and can help tell if an individual has been recently infected.
  • Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common type of antibody. It’s made several days to weeks after being exposed to COVID-19. Generally, IgG remains in the body and may provide long-term protection against future exposure.
  • Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is found in the blood, sinuses, lungs, and stomach. Generally, IgA helps protect these areas from infection. However, the role of these antibodies in determining exposure or immunity is unknown.
There is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have these antibodies are protected against future COVID-19 infections.
Coronavirus disease (also called COVID-19) is an infection caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus), one of the most recently discovered types of coronaviruses. Those who have this disease may or may not experience symptoms, which range from mild to severe.
There is no test that can tell you when to stop social distancing or isolating. Be sure to check with your healthcare provider about next steps and continue to follow federal, state, and local government guidance regarding social distancing, and avoid visiting at-risk individuals like those above the age of 65 or with pre-existing medical conditions.
Base on the most current research, antibodies develop around 10 to 18 days after infection from COVID-19. However, this varies by individual, and some people may take a longer time to develop antibodies.
If you’re having symptoms of COVID-19, contact your doctor or local health department to get tested for active infection. The antibody test can only tell you if you’ve been exposed and have developed an immune response, but it cannot say whether you have an active infection. For that, you’ll need a molecular (PCR) test.
The value column is used for STD tests that use a range of numerical values to describe whether the test is positive or negative. Range is shown with either the greater than [ > ] or less than [ < ] symbols. This number represents the level of reaction to the test which was recorded by the lab. [ < ] means that the value was the lowest reaction that the lab can measure. [ > ] means that the value was the highest the lab could measure. These types of tests will supply you with an index or key to depict what range of numbers is attributed to a negative, equivocal or positive test. The higher the reaction, the more likely the test will turn out to be positive. A value of < 0.90 would be considered negative, 0.90 to 1.09 is equivocal and any value larger than 1.09 is considered a positive result. 
The range column identifies the values which determine if a test is negative, positive or equivocal. This will determine the range of values for each possible result. For example, if anything in the < 10 range is considered negative, then a test result of [ 5 ]  would be negative. If the results are equivocal or need further explanation, our healthcare professionals are happy to help you understand your results and next steps. 
If your results come back negative, but you are still experiencing symptoms, you should see a doctor or call our care counselors. With the help of a health care physician, the underlying cause of such symptoms can be discovered and proper treatment can be established. 
It is possible that couples testing can result in one partner receiving a positive result and the other a negative result. This can be due to low exposure to the STD/STI or the incubation period unique to each. The incubation period is the time frame between exposure and symptoms when the bacteria or virus is undetectable by lab tests. Due to this, it is important to be mindful of the incubation period of the particular illness which you are testing for and when to schedule your test. This will achieve the most accurate results.  Men and women also have different levels of risk for transmission--depending on the illness. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), women are more at risk for contracting an STD in general. This is due to the thinner membrane and moist environment of the vagina, making it easier to breed infection. Meanwhile, the penis does not have such delicate membranes. However, over 80% of all the newly reported HIV cases within the US in 2017 were among men. This statistic is even higher for HIV cases that were transmitted via male-to-male sexual contact. For this reason, keeping the risks for your demographic in mind is a great way to remain proactive about sexual health.   Some physicians may prescribe the medication for the ailment, despite negative test results. They may also recommend later testing to avoid the incubation period. This is especially true for infections such as chlamydia or gonorrhea that are easily treated but have serious consequences if ignored. For example, chlamydia and gonorrhea are the most common root-causes of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID can cause multiple complications including infertility and chronic pelvic pain. 
Yes, they most certainly can. Once you’ve been infected, you may notice symptoms come and go somewhat sporadically until treatment is administered. And you may go months or longer after contracting before symptoms are present. Or symptoms may never develop at all. Either way, if you have chlamydia, you are at risk of passing it along to a sexual partner whether or not you are displaying symptoms. While symptoms may subside on their own, make no mistake, the infection will not. You’ll want to get tested and seek treatment as soon as you can before the infection worsens.
There is no timetable as to how long one can carry the chlamydia infection while showing no symptoms. Months, years, even decades are all very realistic answers. In theory, you could contract chlamydia and go your entire life without ever showing as much as a single symptom. Waiting for chlamydia symptoms to appear before getting tested or seeking treatment is a risky practice and certainly not advisable. If you believe you’ve been exposed, you’ll want to get tested right away whether or not symptoms are present.
Those experiencing chlamydia symptoms will generally see them subside within a few days of beginning a treatment regimen. And typically, a person will be completely free of the infection within a week. During your treatment, you’re advised to abstain from sexual activity just in case you are still contagious. Once some time has passed, you’ll want to test again just to confirm that you are chlamydia free. And remember, just because you’ve been cured of chlamydia once does not give you any sort of “chlamydia immunity”. It is very possible to contract chlamydia more than once in a lifetime.
Common chlamydia symptoms include unusual penile/vaginal discharge and burning or discomfort while urinating (neither of which are particularly unique to chlamydia, mind you). More often than not, however, the first sign of chlamydia symptoms is...nothing. No symptoms whatsoever. While the complete absence of irritating and/or painful symptoms might sound like a relief, keep in mind that it does make chlamydia difficult to self-diagnose without a proper test. And even if chlamydia symptoms are not present, those carrying the infection are likely just as contagious as those who are symptomatic.
The frequency with which people should get tested depends on your sexual activity and the specific STD/STI. As recommended by the CDC, HIV testing is recommended at least once for people between the ages of 13 and 64. Women should be tested every year for chlamydia and gonorrhea if they are 25 years old or younger and should continue testing if they have new, multiple or high-risk sexual partners. The CDC recommends specific testing for pregnant women and sexually active gay or bisexual men such as HIV and syphilis testing. Finally, HIV tested should be a yearly priority for individuals who use unsafe or shared needles.
This test will show whether or not you have developed antibodies to COVID-19.
A positive result that is incorrect is called a false positive. False positives occur when a person tests positive even though they do not have the infection. A negative result that is incorrect is called a false negative. False negatives occur when a person tests negative even though they do not have the infection. False negatives and positive can worsen the COVID-19 pandemic by providing false reassurance to those who have the infection or by causing those who do not have it to use critical resources.
Antibody tests do not show whether a person is currently infected. A molecular (PCR) test is a more reliable indicator of current COVID-19 infection.
False positives occur when a person tests positive even though they DO NOT have the antibodies for COVID-19. There is a small chance that the result could be a false positive. Manufacturers must demonstrate a high specificity of approximately 99% to 100% to ensure validation of their test. If you have additional questions, please contact the lab directly for more information.
Some studies have shown that individuals with more severe illness develop higher antibody levels. However, although having antibodies usually gives immunity from further infection, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have these antibodies – in any amount – are protected against future COVID-19 infections.
It usually takes 10 to 18 days for antibodies to be detected in your blood. Because antibodies develop over time, it’s possible that your antibody levels can change depending on when you tested. However, this varies by individual. Talk with your healthcare provider or local health department about your results to see if retesting is advised.
If your test results show that you’re equivocal for COVID-19 antibodies in the blood, this means that the results were neither positive nor negative. You will likely need to be retested in order to confirm whether or not you have antibodies in the blood. An equivocal result can happen if you do not have enough antibodies in your blood for the test to detect, such as if you test too soon after becoming infected. This results can also happen if there was a problem with your sample or the test itself.
People who have fully recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are encouraged to consider donating plasma. You must be completely recovered from symptoms for at least 14 days prior to donation. If you have additional questions, please contact the donation center directly for more information.
Sensitivity and specificity are different and complementary measures to inform doctors and patients about the accuracy of a test. A good test has both high sensitivity and high specificity. Sensitivity is a measure of how well a test is able to detect people who are infected (positive cases). If a person has an infection, a test with 100% sensitivity can accurately detect it wit ha positive result. Specificity is a measure of how well a test can detect people who are NOT infected (negative cases). If a person does not have an infection, a test with 100% specificity can accurately detect it with a negative result.
The FDA has the authority to grant Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) to diagnostic tests that have not yet received formal approval in times of a public health emergency. The FDA has granted EUA for certain tests during the COVID-19 pandemic to help detect or diagnose COVID-19. Like full FDA approval, EUA relies on strict standards. However, EUA is complemented more quickly based on the limited data that is available, unlike full FDA approval. For more information, please visit the FDA website.
Yes! Your lab order can be used at either Alexandria testing center, or at any Priority STD Testing center throughout Virginia. If you need to get tested in a different state after you’ve already placed an order, simply contact a care counselor.
To get same day testing, simply purchase your lab order either online from our website or over the phone with one of our care counselors. Once your order has been placed, you can get tested immediately at any of our local and discreet collection facilities without an appointment. No other patients at the testing center will know your reason for visiting other than to give a routine urine and blood sample.
If at any point you need assistance, call us at 1-888-211-2365 and one of our care counselors will assist you with any questions you may have regarding your testing options. We offer both customized tests and comprehensive panels to fit your testing needs.
No fasting is required for any type of test we offer. If you are testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis, please ensure that you have not urinated for at least one hour prior to visiting the testing center.
You can order your test directly off of our website 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our care counselors can be reached by phone and are ready to answer any questions about our testing process or to help schedule your test.
We currently do not have COVID-19 testing capabilities.  If you suspect you may have been infected, contact your local CDC unit or primary care physician before seeking medical attention.
We recommend exercising the same caution you would as if you were going to the grocery store or gas station to prevent yourself or others from being infected. Do not go to the testing center if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or have a fever over 100.3 degrees. You must wear face covering of some sort in order to be allowed into the testing site. Homemade masks and bananas are acceptable.
There are currently no vaccines for COVID-19. The best way to protect yourself is to avoid situations in which you may be exposed to the virus. Everyday actions can help protect you and prevent the spread of respiratory diseases such as COVID-19.
  • Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
  • Restrict any activities outside your home and maintain a safe distance (around 6 feet) between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This includes avoiding crowded areas, shopping malls, religious gatherings, public transportation, etc.
  • Wear simple cloth face coverings in public settings (like grocery stores and pharmacies) where social distancing is difficult, especially in areas where COVID-19 is spreading.
  • Stay home when you are sick, unless you are seeking medical care.
  • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces (including tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks).
  • Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
  • Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol if soap and water aren’t available. Always wash hands with soap and water if your hands are visibly dirty.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
If you think you have been exposed, it is important to closely monitor for symptoms. Most mild cases of COVID-19 resolve within 2 weeks without treatment. Seek medical attention immediately if you develop severe symptoms, especially if you experience any of the following:
  • Severe trouble breathing (such as being unable to talk without gasping for air)
  • Continuous pain or pressure in your chest
  • Feeling confused
  • Blue-colored lips or face
  • Severe and continuous dizziness or lightheadedness
If you seek medical attention, be sure to call ahead before visiting the facility. This will help the facility keep other people from possibly getting infected or exposed.
  • Tell any healthcare provider that you may have COVID-19.
  • Avoid using public transportation, ride-sharing, or taxis.
  • Put on a facemask before you enter any healthcare facility.
Social distancing, also called “physical distancing,” means keeping space between yourself and other people outside of your home. It is one of the best ways to avoid being exposed and to help slow the spread of the virus, especially if you are in an area where COVID-19 is widespread. It is important to stay away from others when possible, even if you have no symptoms. Social distancing is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick. Social or physical distancing includes:
  • Stay at least 6 feet (2 meters) from other people
  • Not gathering in groups
  • Staying out of crowded places and avoiding mass gatherings
Yes. Priority STD Testing and PWNHealth are partnered to provide lab orders authorized by physicians in 48 states. PWNHealth is our treatment partner for positive patients as well. Your information and test request will be evaluated and if appropriate, approved by a physician. This process takes place immediately when your order is placed, so you will never have to wait to get tested. Patients wishing to be tested in NJ or RI must call and speak with a care counselor.
To use your health insurance, we are able to provide all of the necessary information to file a self-claim. We utilize Quest Diagnostics which is the largest lab network in the nation, therefore most healthcare providers will offer some form of reimbursement. We will never directly bill your insurance to ensure your results are completely private and kept off of your permanent health record.
All of the tests we offer are FDA approved and performed in CLIA certified labs to ensure the highest level of accuracy. Some STDs require that you wait a period of time after sexual contact before getting tested. Each disease has a different latency period, so understanding when to test is important. If you have questions, our care counselors are happy to walk you through the process, start to finish.
Your test results are accessible through a secure login unique to your order, updated 24 hours a day including partial results. Once your final results are available, you'll be notified by email discreetly. Test results are expedited as a rush order and typically process just 24-72 hours after visiting the collection facility. If you have questions about your results or require a treatment consult, our care counselors are just a phone call away. Nothing will ever be sent to your home or healthcare provider to respect your privacy.
Our process is 100% confidential and HIPAA compliant. Your lab order and results will never be disclosed to your healthcare provider or personal doctor. All personally identifiable information is kept secure and encrypted while ordering your test and getting your results online or by phone. We are in compliance with all state and federal regulations governing the reporting of positive test results to ensure you are not contacted in the event of a reactive test.
We offer treatment options for patients who test positive for chlamydia, gonorrhea, or trichomoniasis. If you receive a positive result, simply call and speak with a care counselor to schedule a phone consult with a physician. Medication can be called into your local pharmacy, and no office visit is needed. We are partnered with physicians at PWNHealth so treatment can be prescribed if appropriate in all states. You must have a positive result before treatment can be authorized. The physician consult fee is $65.
Your privacy is our utmost concern.  We understand the sensitive nature of testing, therefore our company name or anything related to STD testing will not be displayed on your statement.  Our service shows up as a one time payment to “SFHT” and will not be identifiable to your order. If you prefer even more privacy, pre-paid gift cards can be used as well.
No appointments are required at the collection facility after you have ordered your test. Your lab order is valid for 90 days and can be used immediately once your order has been placed. Typically your entire visit will take no more than 15-30 minutes.
We understand that STD testing can be an embarrassing experience. We utilize Quest Diagnostics collection sites that are discreet and nondescript. This means you will never be singled out for getting tested, and nobody in the lobby will know your reason for visiting. You will never be sent to a public clinic, health department, or doctors office.
Even after you have selected a testing site, you can switch locations any time you wish. Your lab order can be used at all Quest Diagnostics collection sites within the same state without having to change your lab order. If you wish to test in a different state, simply call to speak with a care counselor who can update your requisition. There are no fees associated with switching testing sites either.
Patients frequently ask if swabs are required for testing. Swab testing is not only uncomfortable, but also can be embarrassing. Our tests do not require a swab or any other type of visual examination. All that is needed is a simple urine and blood sample.
If you think you may have been exposed to COVID-19, it is very important to stay home and limit your interaction with others in your household and in public.
  • If you have not been tested but may have been exposed to COVID-19, self-monitoring and self-quarantine is recommended to see if you get sick.
  • If you have tested positive for COVID-19, self-isolation is recommended so that you do not pass the virus to others.
For more information on self-isolation and self-quarantine, click here. If you are a healthcare professional, first responder, frontline worker, or critical infrastructure worker and believe you have been directly exposed while at work, you should consult your place of work for specific occupational health guidance about whether to stay home or continue working. You should adhere to recommendations set forth by your employer or the department of health, as they may differ from the CDC’s guidelines.
Isolation and quarantine are both ways to limit your interaction with others to prevent the spread of disease.
  • Isolation is separating individuals with COVID-19 from people who are not sick. Individuals are separated for a period of time until they are no longer infectious.
  • Quarantine is separating individuals who may have been exposed to COVID-19 but haven’t been tested. They are separated for a brief period of time (14 days after possible exposure) to see if they develop symptoms.

If you’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19, please check with your primary healthcare provider or local health department to help determine when it’s right to stop isolation. Typically this is done when fever and symptoms improve and/or a specified amount of time has passed, or when you’ve had follow-up PCR testing done. Be sure to continue to follow federal, state, and local government guidance regarding social distancing and isolation. For more information, please visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)​ ​website​.
If you’re having symptoms of COVID-19, contact your doctor or local health department to get tested for active infection. The serology (antibody) test can only tell you if you’ve been exposed and have developed an immune response, but it cannot say whether you have an active infection. For that, you’ll need a molecular (PCR) test.
If your test results show that you’re positive for COVID-19 antibodies in the blood, it means you’ve likely been exposed to COVID-19. Although having antibodies usually gives immunity from further infection, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have these antibodies are protected against future COVID-19 infections.
No. There is no test that can tell you when you can visit someone who is at risk for more severe symptoms of COVID-19. Check with your primary healthcare provider or local health department to help determine when the time is right to make such visits. Be sure to continue to follow federal, state, and local government guidance regarding social distancing and isolation.
Antibody tests can complement PCR tests by providing information about exposure and how the immune system responds to COVID-19 infections.
COVID-19 spreads easily from person-to-person, even when an infected person is not showing symptoms. When an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks, droplets containing the virus go into the air. These droplets can be inhaled or land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby, exposing them to the virus. People may also be exposed to COVID-19 by touching their eyes, nose, or mouth after touching a surface with the virus on it. Although this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads, researchers are still learning more about COVID-19.
Symptoms may appear 2 to 14 days after being exposed to the virus. The most common symptoms include:
  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Cases of COVID-19 range from mild to severe. Some people who are infected don’t have any symptoms and don’t feel sick. ​Most people​ have mild symptoms. Visit the ​CDC website​ for more information about symptoms.
Severe cases are more likely to occur in the following people:
  • Older adults (the older you are, the higher your risk for severe illness from COVID-19).
  • People at any age with underlying medical conditions.
It is important to note that serious illness can also occur in young, healthy adults. If you have questions about your risk, talk to your healthcare provider. For more information, you can also visit the CDC website.
COVID-19 is very contagious. The risk of getting COVID-19 depends on many factors, including close contact with people who have symptoms of COVID-19. It is important to follow your federal,  state, and local government guidance to protect yourself from exposure.
If you’re currently having symptoms of COVID-19 or have recently been exposed, you should get a PCR test to see if you’re currently infected.
Serology tests are collected through a blood sample (such as from a finger prick or needle draw). Molecular (PCR) tests are collected through the nose with a swab. The swab takes nasal secretions from the back of the nose and throat. This can also be done by a saliva test.
IgG antibody tests do not show whether a person is currently infected. Therefore it should not be used in place of a molecular (PCR) test to diagnose a current infection.
At this time, it is not known whether someone who has been infected with SARS-CoV-2 can become infected again after recovering.
Currently, a serology test can measure two antibodies: IgM and IgG.
  • Immunoglobulin M (IgM) is produced as the body’s first response to a SARS-CoV-2 infection. Generally, IgM may provide short-term protection and can help tell if an individual has been recently infected. However, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have IgM antibodies are protected against future SARS-CoV-2 infections.
  • Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most common type of antibody. It’s made several days to weeks after being exposed to SARS-CoV-2. Generally, IgG remains in the body and may provide long-term protection against future exposure. However, there is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have IgG antibodies are protected against future SARS-CoV-2 infections.
Based on the most current research, IgG antibodies develop around 10 to 18 days after infection from COVID-19. However, this varies by individual, and some people may take a longer time to develop IgG antibodies.
It usually takes around 10 to 18 days after being infected with SARS-CoV-2 for your body to produce enough antibodies for detection in the blood. Getting an IgG antibody test too soon after being infected may cause a negative result that is false (false negative). Additionally, IgG antibody tests may detect IgG antibodies from previous exposure to coronaviruses other than SARS-CoV-2. This can cause a positive result that is false (false positive). There is not enough evidence at this time to suggest that people who have IgG antibodies are protected against future SARS-CoV-2 infections.
An IgG antibody test can tell whether you’ve been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and whether or not your immune system has responded by making IgG antibodies.
Serology (antibody) tests cannot be used to diagnose COVID-19. IgG antibody tests can help us understand how the immune system responds to SARS-CoV-2 and how many people have been infected. In the future, IgG antibody tests may be able to tell us whether an individual has immunity against SARS-CoV-2.
An antibody test checks to see if you’ve developed antibodies against COVID-19, which occurs after being exposed to the virus. Antibody tests do not show whether a person is currently infected. PCR tests check for genetic material (viral RNA) produced by the virus. It determines if you’re currently infected and can spread COVID-19 to others.
You should get an antibody test to check if you’ve been previously exposed to COVID-19. You should get a PCR test if you have symptoms of COVID-19, are a healthcare worker, or you live or work in a place where people reside, meet, or gather in close proximity. This can include homeless shelters, assisted living facilities, group homes, detention centers, schools, and workplaces. A PCR test may also be helpful if you currently have symptoms of COVID-19 or want to check if you have the virus and can pass it on to others.
There is currently no treatment for COVID-19. Not all patients with COVID-19 will require medical attention, and most people recover within 2 weeks without any specific treatment. For severe cases, hospitalization and respiratory support may be required. For mild cases, treatment focuses on managing symptoms.
