So I had a reactive antibody test two weeks ago (I don't have any risk factors), and the follow up pcr was negative. It was the one that would have given a viral load if the virus had been detected. I really want to know if I have ever been exposed, or if the reactive antibody result was a false positive, because I've had 3 children in recent years and I would rather not have them all tested if not necessary. This lab does not do the riba test, but are doing the other pcr test as another check. My questions are: 1) do I need to get the RIBA test to know for sure? And 2) what can cause false positives? (They ran it again with the follow up tests and it was positive again.)
