"I received an invitation to take two Covid tests (through the post) to compare the current 'nose and throat' with a 'saliva' test to see which has better results. Did the online bit and now wait for the tests to arrive in one week. Delivered by a Royal Mail and collected by a courier. I will get the results of the 'nose and throat' but not the 'saliva' as it's research to test clinical effectiveness of that particular test (the letter notes). It won't say if I have had it - only if I have it now. If I have it now, they will inform Test and Trace for further action. The selection of subjects is random but ranged through ages. (FAQ pages) They will not test for DNA. " Lol they won't test for DNA but will keep you data on record just in case. | |||

"I'm okay with it - My friend said her Doctor said if they can make the saliva test work it can be done so much quicker than the invasive stick in the nose and throat I'm happy to do it - actually I think we have already had it just after Xmas - so would have like to do the antigen one." I thought i had it not long after xmas too, all the symptoms but i have now had the antibody test and have no antibodies so it seems it wasn't covid 19 going around at that time.I was convinced it was until i was tested the other day. | |||

Influenza A and RSV were rampant in the UK in December - it may have been one of those And the antigen/swab/saliva test is have I got it now/had it in the last few days/probably week at most The blood/antibody test is have I had it more than 28 days ago | |||

Think even" I was one of the few that was absolutely fine all winter! Then got covid in April! I’ve had the blood test and got antibodies and have been invited to donate plasma so it’s worth having these things if it helps others and helps planning for the future etc | |||

The power of suggestion... If we've all been locked down for 3 months for fear of catching this thing.... With a non stop diet of fear in the media... There's a good chance we will talk ourselves into having some of the symptoms when we feel under the weather. 306k cases out of over 5 million tests... And they only for those who feel they are exhibiting symptoms and merit testing. | |||

"I thought I'd had it in January, been to be a ginnea pig to test the tests. Got my results...I've not had it and haven't got it. Was a bit disappointed as I was sure I had it as I suffered a very weird flu type illness back in January. " Something in me says Oh God I wish I'd had it - just at the out-set that anti-bodies set a modicum of protection | |||

Same, I'm sure iv had it in January " Many people have flu like illnesses every year - you can see the graph for their incidence on the net - usually a big spike in the UK in January and August in Australia - although this year they and us were a month earlier than normal So it’s really common to have these sort of things and they happened even before covid | |||

"The large majority of people who test positive for covid develop antibodies - even those who have mild illness and don’t get admitted - there’s been studies into this including in french healthcare workers who had mild covid So the antibody test negative is almost certainly a negative for having had it A swab negative can be just a timing thing I’d done too late or a technique thing if not done properly (I can vouch if done properly they’re not nice!)" The issue away from the NHS antibody tests and possibly all of them, is that tests too early don't show them. The commercial providers have been very selective in the research results that they select to claim almost 100% success. Radio 4 'More Or Less' show included this amongst its coverage of covid-19 statistics being used atm. The bigger issue for me is what effect multiple infections could have upon people, should immunity contemplate. not be full, nor particularly long-term. Successive organ damage, including to the brain, is not a good thing to contemplate | |||
