Hello,

I am a 33 yo female living in Belgium. A month ago, after a trip to Venice, my husband got infected with Sars-cov2(we are not sure if he took it there). He had all the symptomps of the infection and he tested positive for it. I was in direct contact with him 24/7 and I never tested positive nor developped any symptom. Moreover, once he had started to feel better, we both did the antibodies blood test. He had the antibodies(7,9 >1.4) and I had nothing(0.009<1.4). I cannot find an explanation for it, nobody talks about it. I found lots of info about asymptomatic people but nothing about people who seem to be immune to it even though never had it. Any help?

Thanks, Clara
