It’s been a month since I tested positive , I’m no longer contagious or have any symptoms, but I don’t want to get tested again at work and risk having to take time off again.. I need money
Aylene, Can you tell me your current status? Did you teste negative later on? If so, Until how many days until the test results were negative? What did you do?
IKR? Did they ever say if we are still contagious after a month when still testing positive? I'm symptom free, but still testing positive (really strong test line -- not faint).
But if you're not contagious, why wear a mask and social distance? It all makes no sense. This is 2023. So I am looking for current guidelines on everything. You should ALWAYS wash your hands after touching anything where you might pick up or get germs. Do the 20 second lather/wash EVERY time. This is just common knowledge (or should be), so you don't pass germs of any type of virus around. Remember: Cell phones are probably the most germ covered thing we own.
On January 7, I did Covid rapid test and it was positive. I missed my flight on Tuesday March 1st from Canada to Iran. Turkish airline because I tested positive Pcr-test. (I had a doctor recovery note , the airline said Iran won't accept recovery letter) It is my sister's wedding on march 7. I am trying to do the test again and hopefully it comes negative. Anyone knows any tips on how to test negative ? I need prayers. 😫
I texted positive on 1/25/2022 I had sore throat no more of that thank god stomach pain no more of that that thank god bad cough still but it’s braking up I been on the zpack not even 24 hours n my dizziness leaving nausea trying to fade I can’t eat a lot of food I been resting as much as I can tho I wasn’t able to look in my phone now I can I took two home test one was positive one was negative PRAYERS FOR A FULL RECOVERY ILL BE GETTING FULLY VACCINATED IN APRIL
Tested positive, oct. 2020. Symptoms persisted and continued positive tests to mid Jan. 2021. Have tested negative now, but having problems associated with covid that are still present. Was not hospitalized, two ER visits for acute symptoms in beginning. Home recovery was long and I still have after effects.
First positive test was July 5, 2022. Today is July 26.. so 21 days later and I still test positive. Only lingering symptom is a cough that is usually dry but sometimes some phlegm comes up.
I am becoming very weary now with this lingering so long. I feel like my summer is being wasted as I have been in Quarantine for approx 2 weeks now. Just pleased that I am not in hospital
@@barbaramatthews696 I understand. We were supposed to have my grandkids spend the summer with us but after going back home for a birthday party, they never came back due to us having Covid. This really ruined our summer. At this rate I won't get to see them anymore this summer and they return to school in late August. We are so disappointed...at least my wife is now testing negative and has been for past few weeks, while I keep testing positive.
@@geod3589 Sorry that you are going through this. I was to go to my hometown for my brother's grave side service . So much to not be able to do Hopefully we can all live a more normal life in the near future
Same tested positive 11 days ago & still positive with no symptoms. I need to travel but can't without a negative result + coming from SA we are even being watched more. So sad I may not see my family I hope a miracle happens & am negative end of this week.

@@Protantagonist No need to be scared. Get enough rest, don’t stress yourself. Drink warm water all the time. Try to eat less of processed foods. Gurgle with hydrogen peroxide morning and evening. I believe God will do the rest.
Ok let me help you still test positive for a while buuuut after 10 days it’s believed that your not contagious 😷 anymore ask your doctor 👩⚕️ if ur not sure 🤔 I’m not a doctor 👨⚕️ but that’s what Kaiser called and told me so I’m just relaying this message my case of covid was mild and I’m a heavy smoker weed of course I wouldn’t smoke 💨 until ur lungs 🫁 are completely healed up
Thank you I tested positive a week ago I feel fine I’m also a smoker(weed) I think I’m asymtomatic as well idk how to spell it and I keep testing positive but I’m so confused.
I'm in different country and i started feeling the symptoms January 18, 2020 and was sick for 3 weeks and then got recovered. I have been feeling normal but still I'm testing positive and today is March 1,2021. I'm stuck here because i can't fly out of the country unless i test negative. I left my small children with my husband in USA and I have been depressed because i don't know for how long I'm going to stay here.

Longest way to say “we don’t know”
I have tested positive for nearly 4 months so send the researchers to my house please
Hitting the third month testing positive...
Oh my gosh!!!! I’m so sorry!
Same here...lol
U negative now ?
What does this mean? I am frustrated at the one month mark -- being symptom free.
The problem is you can continue to retest positive even after quaratine. Up to three months.
Am I still contagious after the 14 days if I still test positive?

Move to a developed country where they pay you for time off.

The same
I agree with you on that.
IKR? Did they ever say if we are still contagious after a month when still testing positive? I'm symptom free, but still testing positive (really strong test line -- not faint).
You can test positive up to 3 months
Iv been testing positive for 6 months now. Been having tinnitus, dizziness and vertigo.
That's probably what they call long or long haul Covid. I have no symptoms, and I'm still positive after a month.
if you test positive but are not contagious you should still wear the facemask, social distance, and wash your hands
Yes this is what I plan to do when I recover
But if you're not contagious, why wear a mask and social distance? It all makes no sense. This is 2023. So I am looking for current guidelines on everything.
