If I have positive antibodies to COVID-19, does that mean my body already fought it off? If so, how long am I immune to it?

It's very probable that you have fought it off already. Unfortunately, there are already reports of people being re-infected with COVID-19 for a second time. Virus also like to mutate in ways to keep them viable in their current surroundings... so, nobody really knows at this point and time.

If you have the antibodies and not the disease, you fought it off. As far as how long the immunity will last? Think about it... How long have we known and been dealing with COVID-19? That's about as long as we can possibly know that immunity lasts. The more time that goes by the more we can say about how long immunity lasts.

Yes, you already fought it off. You’re immune to the strain you contracted indefinitely. No one knows for sure, but at least 6 months and likely longer.

Either you had it or you have it. So far there has only been 4 confirmed cases of someone getting Covid-19 twice. And one of those cases is questionable.

Antibodies are different for everyone. I've seen peoe that have them for 6 months. But also, once they go away, come back a year later when the same virus showed back up. Science still doesn't know why.
