Has anyone continued to test positive for Covid after 13 days?

[MLAA]

I had moderate symptoms for a couple of days then mild symptoms. I took Paxlovid on day 2. Today is day 13 and I’m still testing positive. What has been your experience and please include whether or not you to Paxlovid.

1. It took

11 days for my daughter to test negative- mostly fatigue

4. Thank you for your feedback.

2. Yep.

Doesn't mean you can transmit it. Fragments hanging around can cause positives.
Doctors say ignore it if symptoms gone.

3. That's exactly what my doctor said

6. Thanks! I hope the insanity ends soon.

5. I and my husband both tested positive...

....for well over 14 days.

When we had COVID in February 2022, we had already received our COVID vaccines but contracted COVID from his coworker, who inadvertently passed it along to him...and he, then, to me.

Neither of us received Paxlovid, however. (I don't remember if Paxlovid was even available at that time; if it was, our doctor probably informed us that we'd missed our window of opportunity.)

7. How long did your symptoms last? Husband's only real symptom is extreme fatigue. I had most of the standard

symptoms except no fatigue.

8. We were kind of surprised...

....that we felt as bad as we did after having received our vaccines!

I remember that we both were very fatigued for a solid two weeks. We never really had any coughing or sore throats, but our bodies ached as if we had the flu. We also had headaches, lost our appetites, and had low-grade fevers. No chest congestion, though. We felt pretty rotten those two weeks. We definitely hope we don't get COVID again.

Both of us are in our 60s and are relatively healthy. We were grateful we'd received our vaccines or we might have felt much worse.

I hope you and your husband feel better soon!

9. Thanks for the info. I'm early 60s and husband is late 80s. I agree thank goodness we were up to date

on our boosters. I’m feeling much better just a bit listless and a little congestion. Husband totally fatigued and sleeping a lot but feels pretty well when he is awake. I’m going to rest eat us later today, fingers crossed!
