Poll: How Many Times Have You Been Tested For COVID?

I had to strip naked for my test, that was different.
well, the attractive nurse didn’t tell me to but I told her it was probably best if I did. Just trying to help her out you know.
None. Have donated blood twice this year and no anti-bodies so far.
Family members have been tested/quarantined multiple times due to exposure but none have tested positive.

once because of exposure (negative despite siting right next to the guy who tested positive for over an hour).. then once because family wanted to get to together for Christmas... came back positive.. despite no signs or symptoms or even being exposed to it some how (fiancée who works at a store, and sees way more people everyday tested negative at the same time)... then a negative 2 days after that with a negative 4 days after that again.... I was in the camp of yeah testing works till that happened...

not saying it's a conspiracy thing really yet or anything but at the test Iowa site in CR where I tested "positive" I had a red/pink sticky note stuck to my side of the vehicle. Fiancée had a blue one.. cars around us all received a blue sticky as well.. (some with multiple people getting tested as well) my test was done by just swabbing the back of my nose, Fiancée received the full brain tickler..
That's kind of a weird way to designate people.
In WI I just signed up online to get a QR code on my phone, then you show up to get in a line of cars, and they give you the swab as you go by, results in a day or two. They're supposed to call if it's positive.
that is how my first test went was I drove up, they scanned my code and then did the brain tickler swab and away I went.. no stickies on the vehicle or anything.. then the test Iowa in CR before Christmas, my Fiancée jokingly pointed it out as funny because I the male got pink and she got a blue one.. then we noticed other vehicles nearby all had blue stickies on them and ones in front of us and the one directly behind us had multiple people getting tested as well.. we didn't even think about it until mine came back as positive 3-4 hours after she received her negative result the next day.. and the 2 test after for me coming back as negative...
Sitting for LPN in mid January. As I understand it she takes it at some Pearson computer testing center in Coralville. Clinicals, classes and lab have been an adventure. Classes are all online and very rough...the dean is not great, clincials have been a mess and have pushed her RN graduation date back to end of Summer 2021. Clinicals were actually paused from March-late July and then this semester was paused at one point because they had a COVID outbreak in the hospital and kicked them out but didn't change their visitor policy or anything else, because obviously the clinical students infected patients that they were several floors away from. Lab had to be delayed as the lab instructor died from COVID.
Spouse got tested early Dec after symptoms (after only going to grocery store and daycare) and got the neg result in less than 24 hrs on a Sunday. Was very pleasantly surprised at the turnaround. Cross fingers no test needed for myself or toddler, though we've had a couple colds courtesy of daycare.
Who's the "they" that made you get tested? I've only knowingly been exposed once (about 5 total minutes, right about 6 feet apart) but didn't bother testing as I had no symptoms and nowhere to be for the next 2 weeks anyway.
Four times. Whole family tested positive. We retested after the isolation period and everyone else tested negative but I was still a positive. I didn't test negative until over a month later on my third follow up test. Employer wants a negative test before returning to work (jobsite) - could still work remotely.
None of us even had a fever. We simply had mild cold symptoms with about one day of headache and fatigue.
