Antibody vs Antigen Testing for COVID-19
In the current COVID-19 pandemic, there are two tests that are being conducted to detect active infection with COVID-19 versus detecting antibodies in individuals who have had an infection and have recovered. These are very different tests conducted for different purposes, and they're both very important.

In the case of antigen testing, the test is being conducted on the individual where you're trying to see whether the person currently has active infection. In that case, if the test is positive for the antigen, that means that the virus is active in the person's body currently. Based on that test result, you give the person a recommendation for social distancing and quarantine so that they don't infect other people.

In the case of the antibody testing, you are testing people to see whether they've had the infection in the past. Antibodies are generated in our body during infection for various diseases, for bacteria and viruses. Typically, they persist in our body for a good length of time, and it differs based on the bacteria or virus after the infection has resolved. It is important to the antibody testing to get a good idea epidemiologically of how many people in the population actually have the infection.

ABOUT AT-HOME COVID 19 TEST
DNA testing needs to be done in a lab, the rapid antigen tests performed entirely at home use a different metric to determine the presence of the virus. Rapid tests are different in that they check for antigens, which are a specific type of protein found on the COVID-19 virus. The COVID-19 antigen tests are able to give almost immediate at-home results by telling you whether or not the proteins found on the COVID-19 virus are detected in the sample.

It’s important to follow the specific instructions of each test as written by the manufacturer, including how to collect the sample, how to handle it, and how to interpret the test strip or read-out device. Each one is slightly different, and a patient should not assume that they know how to perform a test based on using one in the past.
