Doesn't work that way.
Antibodies fade away. The immune system doesn't keep antibodies hanging around after it has defeated a virus. What it does do is remember the virus which caused it to produce the antibodies, and will begin producing those antibodies again if the same or similar virus is encountered.
- throaway46546 5y agoI was infected back in early 2020 (PCR) and still test positive for antibodies. The virus is still out there so it is likely you continue to be exposed (e.g. the hospital, your son, random trip to the grocery store) causing your body to produce more antibodies. Getting the antibody test might be more informative than you think.
