Participate in a research study for coronavirus antibodies
Researchers at UNC are looking to see how many people who do not have symptoms of COVID-19 may have been exposed and have developed antibodies, which are proteins that your body makes after being exposed to a virus. It does NOT diagnose the disease, and we do not know if it gives you any protection form the disease.
You are eligible to participate if you are a patient at any UNC Healthcare practice, and if you do NOT have any signs of the COVID-19 disease, including new shortness of breath, fever, body aches, loss of sense of taste or smell, or diarrhea.
Your participation will last approximately one hour. This will include the informed consent process and getting a blood draw.
There is no compensation for this study, but you will not be billed for the blood sample.
If you are interested in more information, ask your provider while you are in the clinic.
