Experts say that if you were exposed to someone who is COVID-positive, you have a 20% chance of becoming COVID-positive, too.

Your risk of testing COVID-positive may increase if you spend more time with someone COVID-positive, because you run into more chances to encounter the virus. The risk can go up even higher if they show symptoms, which often help the virus spread.

If you were not vaccinated against COVID, your risks are even higher. Researchers are trying to find solutions to prevent COVID in people who were exposed to COVID at home. If you live with someone who just tested positive for COVID and is showing symptoms, you might be eligible for a paid local research study.

You may be eligible if you are 18 years or older, and you show no symptoms. The person in your household (known as the ‘index’ case) must have tested positive within the last 72 hours—and be willing to show proof of that—as well as show symptoms of COVID.

What are clinical trials?

Clinical trials are medical research studies that test investigational medicines and treatments.

People may not give much thought to clinical research, but everything from aspirin to chemotherapy has been carefully tested before being prescribed by your doctor.

Clinical trials need human volunteers, who participate under the supervision of a doctor and/or health professionals. As the trial goes on, the doctors gather more and more information about the medicine or treatment under investigation. It is only through clinical trials that we learn if medicines and treatments are both effective and safe.
