the finger prick hurts more than the arm blood draw though. you can really feel the finger prick whereas with the blood draw, if you look away you don't feel a thing [ Reply | More

I know but I always get psyched out and faint, and that is more traumatic than the pain of the finger prick. I just want a finger prick test but don't know where to go get one. [ Reply | More

Reputable labs do not do finger stick testing for this, or any test really (a la the Theranos debacle several years ago). You need to have a blood draw. Sorry. [ Reply | More

MD mom - you cannot adjust science to cater to your fears. If you want an antibody test, get the test. If not, then don't. sorry of I sound cold, but I just spent three months putting my entire family at risk working in an ER and trust me, that was more scary than a blood draw. [ Reply | More

The finger prick is not accurate. Either get the right test, or don't test at all. [ Reply | More

the finger prick is not accurate, very unreliable. the blood draw (roche or abbott) are the only 99% accurate ones. (i tested positive for antibodies on the finger prick and negative on the blood draw) [ Reply | More
