Not meaning you specifically, but this discussion seems to be bouncing all over the place. There is a difference in cases where COVID resolved without Paxlovid and one where Paxlovid was used. Paxlovid seemingly represses the virus, it does not kill the virus so testing positive after a course of Paxlovid means you are still sick and infectious not immune. https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/30/health/paxlovid-rebound-contagious-study-wellness/index.html Edited August 3, 2022 by Elaine5715 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on the rebound, would still need isolation. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" I would take this to mean that if you test positive, but your symptoms don't come back, you don't need to isolate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bgcruising Posted August 6, 2022 #59 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Most likely? From CDC. "One of the problems with recent COVID-19 infections is that a patient may continue to test positive for weeks or even months after the infection has cleared up from the body. A positive COVID-19 test in a patient who has recovered from COVID-19 and who no longer has any symptoms will most likely indicate that the test is detecting non-infectious virus fragments and the patient is no longer infectious."

seaman11 Posted August 21, 2022 #60 Share Posted August 21, 2022 On 8/2/2022 at 10:23 AM, ldubs said: Our health officials (CDC) say that folks may test positive for up to 90 days without being contagious. They say they do not recommend taking a test within 90 days of testing positive. This has been in place for a long time and is the basis for the Document of Recovery. Most countries have a similar approach. It was widely accepted for air travel before the testing requirement was lifted. Thats all correct. But im saying you can still catch it again during that peroid. One is not now totally immune to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they continue to evolve. I suppose we should be glad at least one of our gov't agencies might actually learn from their mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheckersMidwest Posted August 22, 2022 #64 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) I haven't read through the other posts, so this may have already been said..... you can throw a positive PCR test for up to 3 months after having covid. A rapid antigen test will show NOW & doesn't react the same way. & Not to the antibodies in your system. ( And I don't mean an antibody test, that's different.)
