Got sick on 20th. Tested positive on the 21st and got the 5-day RX. Fever has been gone for 6 days, but I still have the cough, runny nose, and a headache most of the time.
I'm supposed to be on a client's site on Tuesday, but I guess that is not happening.
Tried multiple bands of covid test and they are all positive (wife's work kept sending them home with her).
Anybody else tested positive this long? If so, how long did it take to test clear?

Nope. I’m a pure blood. Caught it once and was sick for about 6 days. Never had to worry about it since.

Quit taking tests and you won't have to worry about it. Don't think I've ever taken a second test after an initial positive since there is no point.
FWIW, the guidelines are different now....you don't have to isolate after 5 days as long as you aren't having fever. I'd go on with your life.

Yeah, it is t uncommon to test pisitive for weeks to months after getting it. Dont go by testing, go by sympto S and fever. No fever for 24hrs (without tylenol or ibuprofen) and symptoms getting better, good to go.
But i agree, why are you testing to begin with? Test once if you really want to (if you want treatment) but it doesnt matter what the test says after that, get on with life.

You should probably ask a real doctor rather than internet virologists.

Just don’t. Don’t test, don’t talk about it, don’t miss work.

I knew people 2-3 years ago that had it for two weeks or longer. I haven't heard about that happening lately. I think two of my coworkers had it in February.

My doctor told me they quit re testing after treatment a long time ago. Too many false positives. I think someone already mentioned being clear of no treated fever as the benchmark. If you still fell bad bad have a fever , stay home.

Got jabbed in the original round, primarily due to the wife's job. No booster.
Still have the symptoms, except the fever...but they are much milder than I had the first three days. There are times I still get chilled, so maybe a low grade fever is still popping up. I get winded walking around the house. Tied to use the string trimmer for 15 min yesterday and got week in the knees.
I'm testing because I am supposed to be in a client's corporate office to start an audit Tuesday morning at 7:30. Our company policy is to follow the clients policy on this. Client knows I was sick (original audit was supposed to start last Monday). I'm told that is clear of fever and other symptoms for three days or two consecutive negative tests.

Nak, my wife and I both had it early last fall. Fever for three days. Both of us had night sweats for a week or so after the fever broke. Two to three weeks after that to get my wind back and I am pretty fit. I am unvaxed but what you describe is not unheard of. Covid seems to affect different people differently. Sounds like you are on the mend. Don’t over do it till you get your wind back.

Are you taking zinc and D? When my wife got covid, I loaded up on zinc and vitamin D. I never tested positive and never felt sick. I also never got the jab.

It’s back in these parts. Also lots of sinus crap due to African dust in the air etc.

I've had Covid exactly once. It was about 6 months ago actually.
Took me right at 30 days to get over the worst of it....another 2 weeks to be able to say I felt nearly all better. My Doctor says I had 'Long Covid'.
I had taken ONE pfhizer shot way back when the Omicron version of Covid was going around. Had a VERY bad reaction to it. Didn't take any more 'jabs'. Wife had no issues with any of her 3 shots.

Ivermectin works, period. I was exposed to Covid (and got it) when my brother was here visiting. He called and said he tested positive but I was already feeling bad and suspected as much. I went got tested, came up positive. I was 6 weeks getting over mine. Brother had ivermectin that he was able to get for himself and wife earlier. Took his dosage and was perfectly fine in 3 DAYS!
