Regarding antibodies
I have been tested covid positive on 8 april and tested covid negative on 4 may.
Today I was exposed to an irresponsible woman who was coughing in my vicinity.
Since I was not wearing mask at that time as I was shaving, I am afraid that I may catch infection if she is infected.
Kindly clarify how long my antibodies last and in my case if such thing happens can a person rely on his/her antibodies
Request you to please give answer and clarify...

Hi. I understand your concern s. No answers yet as to whether antibodies protect against Infection. That's why SMS , social distancing, mask , sanitization is necessary whether you are already infected or vaccinated as well. Do a online consult for a detailed analysis of your symptoms and to suggest you further management plan and treatment prescription.

It wouldn't be advisable to rely on the antibodies you acquire Post infection to confer natural immunity against the illness.
You should get yourself tested if you develop any symptoms.
