Coronavirus Antibody Testing in Lyndhurst, NJ
AFC Urgent Care Lyndhurst is performing coronavirus antibody testing on asymptomatic patients seven days a week. The test, performed via a blood draw, is used to detect antibodies developed from past infection with coronavirus. Testing is done in our center with results available within a few days. Please wear a mask or face covering when visiting our center for testing.
Who Can Be Tested For Coronavirus Antibodies?
Patients who have been asymptomatic (not experiencing a cough, fever, aches or congestion) in at least 14 days are eligible for antibody testing. Patients must be over the age of 15.
Differences Between Diagnostic And Antibody Testing
Antibody testing is performed on asymptomatic patients and requires a blood test. It can only be used to detect past infection. Diagnostic testing is performed with a nasal swab and can detect the active COVID-19 virus.
What Do The Results Of My Antibody Test Mean?
Regardless of your results, you should still continue following local health and safety guidelines until they are completely lifted, including social distancing, protective face coverings and washing and sanitizing your hands frequently. For more information on how antibody results are being interpreted and any protection you may have, please continue to check the CDC website.
Positive: you have been exposed to coronavirus and have antibodies.
Negative: you have not been exposed to coronavirus and have not developed antibodies.

AFC Urgent Care FAQs
-
Why does AFC provide two different COVID tests?
We offer a rapid test because they provide highly reliable results on the spot; however, they do produce more false negatives than the RT-PCR COVID-19 Test. Doing both tests is our way of ensuring that you get the most accurate results possible without having to put your life on hold.
-
How long does it take to get a COVID test?
We're able to get many patients in and out in a matter of minutes, but the length of time you'll spend in our clinic will depend on wait times that day.
-
How much does it cost to get a COVID test?
That will ultimately depend on your insurance coverage. Presently, many people with insurance are able to get tested at no charge. If you’re uninsured, AFC’s cash pay prices are highly competitive – contact us for the details.
