How long could I be contagious before a positive virus test? Studies have shown that people may be contagious for about two days before developing COVID-19 symptoms. But there’s a more complicated part to this question: What if someone knows they were exposed but their virus test comes back negative -- could they still be contagious? A negative test within less than seven days after exposure "is a very, very poor indicator of whether you have virus on board,” said Dr. Alan Wells of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. A negative test between seven and 10 days of exposure is a better indicator, Wells said, but even then some people might not test positive until later.
