In response to "LIR: Antibody tests are available here in Texas. I’m negative. " by Epiphany

everything I've read suggests antibody testing isn't accurate.

negative doesn't mean you haven't had it, or don't currently have it, just that they can't detect antibodies. could mean you have it and don't have detectable antibodies yet, or have previously had it, but long enough ago that you don't have enough antibodies left for detection.

I posted an article last week about a group that tested/rated tests, some work much better, the worst one is 85% -- nm - zeitgeist May 13, 20:13 1
- Some research group in Aus just tested some the government got here, they said you had better chances of detecting it by flipping a coin -- nm - Karl_S May 14, 05:09
It's something we should monitor carefully. -- nm - David May 13, 20:00
