Why am I not catching the omicron?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello,

My boyfriend tested positive for covid (he is symptomatic) last Sunday (1/16). I have tested everyday since and am still negative. We live in the same house, sleep in the same bed and I have not exactly been "distanced" from each other. The previous Friday we were with three other people, all of them tested positive as well (assuming we had a server, bartender or were all around the same person that had it). This is not the first time this has happened for me. I have been around at least 10 other people throughout the pandemic that I have later learned, tested positive. I am sure the vaccine has definitely assisted my immune system in fighting off the virus.

Another strange coincidence (or not), is that my brother's girlfriend also contracted the virus and he never got it either.

My question here is, should I assume I have some sort of built-up immunity or antibodies? Maybe I have already had covid without knowing. Is there somewhere in particular that I could donate my blood for research? I would love to do that if anyone knows of anywhere that I could do so. I'm guessing if I do not have the antibodies, maybe something in particular in my DNA or my blood type?

Thank you for any assistance,

Kathryn

    you can go get a test for Covid antibodies. If you have them then you know that you already had Covid and didn’t know it. if you already had Covid and also got the vaccine, then you are pretty well protected.
