HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY LAB TEST RESULTS?

Results from the COVID-19 IgG/IgM test are generally available within 15min to 3 business days. It depends on which lab you choose.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN IGM AND IGG ANTIBODY TEST?

Early after infection (usually after the first week), a class of antibodies known as immunoglobulin M (IgM) develop, although they typically do not last long. Later, after the first 2-4 weeks following infection, IgG, a more durable antibody, is produced.

Detection of microbe-specific IgM and IgG in circulating blood (a ‘serologic’ test) serves as a traditional method to determine whether a person has been infected with that pathogen, either recently (IgM) or more distantly (IgG).**
