I would like to take an antibody test, has anyone used in at-home kits and can you share which did you use?
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

You can donate blood in Houston and get a free antibody test
Really anywhere you donate blood they are doing antibody tests.DriftwoodAg said:

Just got my latest positive antibody test from blood donation on Friday.
Have tested positive at all three donations this year. Tested negative at blood donation right before I think I had it in October.
Carter bloodcare is in my area.

How long did it take to get your results?

This is changing. Lots of blood centers are stopping the test as it is a non reimbursed expense and interest in the test is waning and not bringing in the donors to offset the costs. Our current plan is to cease testing at the end of june

That's understandable if you have plenty of donors.
I don't recall being asked about my interest in the test. I am sure interest has waned and vaccinated folks have started donating again.
Perhaps it could be optional if requested?
I had not donated in over 10 years before the 5 times I donated recently specifically for the antibody tests (of course I figured the supply was tight as well but perhaps it's not as tight now, which would be great)
