Planing toget another antibody test done on dec 19 which would be at 98 days post exposer (3 months 8 days) .. a negative result at this mark would be conclusive .. or further testing is required till 6 months
Brief Answer:
It will be conclusive
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
Antibody test beyond 90 days of exposure is always confirmatory and you do not need further tests after that.
I also like to assure you that test on 46th days is almost 95 % confirmative and you can hope negative results on the next test day.
It is important to decrease your worries before the 19th December.
I hope this answers you.
If you have more question feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
It will be conclusive
