Common questions
What does IgG indicate?
IgG antibodies usually reflect a past or established infection, as they develop some time after exposure.
Is there a window period?
Yes. IgG antibodies take weeks to months to develop, so very recent exposure may not yet show up.
Is my result confidential?
Yes. Your results are private and shared only with you.
