Doctor's Assessment Included
Every result includes a professional assessment from a BIG-registered doctor. For treatment decisions, discuss your results with your GP.
Covid-19 IgG
A Covid-19 IgG test detects IgG antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. A positive result may indicate a past infection or an immune response following vaccination, suggesting that your immune system has developed antibodies against the virus.
What It Measures
This test detects the presence of IgG antibodies directed against SARS-CoV-2 in your blood. IgG antibodies typically develop one to three weeks after infection or vaccination and may persist for an extended period. The test provides a qualitative result indicating whether these antibodies are present.
Why It Matters
Understanding your Covid-19 IgG status can help assess whether you have developed an immune response to SARS-CoV-2 through natural infection or vaccination. However, the presence of antibodies does not guarantee complete protection against future infection. Results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional.
When to Test
Testing may be relevant if you want to know whether you have developed antibodies after a past Covid-19 infection or vaccination. This test is not intended to diagnose an active infection. Consult a healthcare professional for guidance on interpretation.
Lifestyle Tips
Follow current public health guidelines regarding Covid-19 vaccination and boosters. Maintain good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette. Support your immune system through a balanced diet, regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management. Stay informed about current recommendations from health authorities.
