Anyone else catch covid again this quickly?

[Covidconfusing]

I have no idea what’s going on. I tested positive 2 weeks ago today for the first time, faintish line for 3 days then 3 negatives the following days so went back to work. Had my booster 10 days prior to testing positive so assumed I had it mildly (no cold symptoms, just nausea and dizziness and very tired) due to booster. Anyway this morning I have tested positive again! Exactly 2 weeks after the first time. This time I have a headache and the beginning of cold symptoms so feels more like ‘traditional’ covid.

Has anyone else had this? I’m completely baffled. I was fully recovered and testing negative for almost 2 weeks - could I have caught it again so quickly? And so soon after the booster?!

Sorry just to clarify I don’t mean I had symptoms due to the booster, I mean they were maybe milder due to the booster.

I caught it 3 months in a row at the start of the year. Thankfully each time was less severe but I was like WTF!

How interesting. The earliest reported reinfection in the research data is 19 days, but that was before all the covid variant soup that we have floating around at the moment so maybe if you have 2 variants that are not similar in origin then it’s possible to become reinfected quicker.

Well that’s what I wondered, if it could be a different variant with different symptoms. Also possibly because I tested positive so weakly last time maybe I didn’t build up enough immunity? Again this time the line is faint but there. Same batch of tests (surescreen) but also the same batch I tested negative on 3 times so seems unlikely they’re faulty and throwing out false positives? Mystified!

Hi - is the time measuring this, from time of testing positive first time to second time testing positive?

I think the surescreen are dodgy! I’ve tested positive on them (alongside all of my family) for about a 6 weeks!! All faint too x
