I've had it 4 times. First July 2020 before vaccine. I got vaccinated but got it again in Aug 2021. Summer 2022, a few months ago. 3 times it was after spending time with friends who were sick within days (friend had been to a work holiday party last time -thanksgiving. ) another time someone picked someone up at the airport and didn't tell me. They got it, then I did.
Btw, I have never tested positive, but my IGG, which is only positive if you absolutely had it, was highly positive per lab results. At one point there were like 30% false negatives.
My pcp has said from the start - if you are sicker than you have been in a long time, or very sick out of nowhere, assume its covid. Esp right now. Sore throat can be covid even if you test negative. Long covid since July 2020, has 100% changed my life. Oxygen at night, BP meds, etc. I never tested positive. I'm immune compromised.

My ENT told me that one negative test doesn’t mean you didn’t have covid. I was so sick that I went to my primary, called in advance and went through side entrance after day hours, I felt so bad and was so symptomatic. Ten days later got post covid syndrome.
I just read an article that I hope to find the link for that says today’s covid may take a while to show positive on test AND that you may need to test 3 times! I’m getting some more tests to keep on hand. My illness after New Year’s was probably covid too. Thatcwould be my second time. A friend got something with same symptoms and tested negative until the third test, which was positive. I only took one test.
