You can get a saliva test now which is spitting into a cup. Sounds like the saliva is the goto method now in my area SoCal so if in doubt, demand this method and refuse the nasal or mouth swab.
Just called my county’s health department. They know of no facility doing the saliva test. The local university is, but only for current staff, faculty, and students.
Anti-body test is a blood test.
I considered that, but the request was for a negative test. I’m guessing you can show antibodies while still being contagious. At least in clown world.
