- nradov 4y agoThat test is reliable for detecting the presence of antibodies. A positive test is reliable evidence that you have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. However, a negative test doesn't necessarily mean you were never infected. There are some more sensitive assays that can detect cellular immunity independent of antibodies, however those are mainly used for research and aren't generally available to most patients.
