Brief Answer:
Means you got infected, yet developed no symptoms!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I have reviewed the attached report. This means that you had the virus but your body was able to handle it without you having any severe or noticeable symptoms. This is, at this time, good news as we do believe that persons who have had the infection are at least protected from further infections for some time.
Unfortunately, detail antibodies analyses have not been done to tell if this is an older infection or recent infection.
I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.

Brief Answer:
Yes, you can donate your plasma, but not right away.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the updates.
1. The test is not detailed enough to say whether this is past infection or acute. To tell, we need to se titres of IgM and IgG. Unfortunately, this was not done.
2. I want you to err on the side of caution. Stay away from others, get a PCR test or ask the lab to report antibodies subtypes as mentioned above for detail review and guidance.
Bottom line, get some isolation pending a PCR test for covid. I wish you well.
