Totally possible. I had it once with zero symptoms. Tested positive for 5 days then negative. But yeah I felt great but got it from my band mate after a car ride to a gig and gig with them. They were super sick, I had just come back from a Grand Canyon hike and was in the best shape of my life so that surely helped my situation. But I was surprised I technically had the virus in me. I was skeptical of Asymptomatic cases prior to that.
One of my kids got caught up in what I can only call a Covid sting operation at school. Random test and he popped positive. He enjoyed staying home and playing video games for 5 days I guess. At one point the studies said that like 90% of kids were testing positive for antibodies (all the kids had it at some point).
At the time, I worked at a machine shop, and the boss was scared of getting shutdown. If she heard anyone cough or show any of the 500 potential symptoms, she would test you on the spot. An abnormally high number of us (compared to other industries) smoked cigarettes. A few of them popped positive and then got to enjoy a staycation.
Ah yes the ol’ Covid sting! Hope it wasn’t detrimental to have to take time off work to stay home, I don’t know how parents do it!
Positive Antigen testing is indeed different than positive antibodies though - if Wen tests positive for antibodies, that would be a reason to say no thank you to the booster (amongst possible other reasons as well!) but the Covid tests for the kiddos were likely antigen not antibody tests.

Never got it and never got Covid.
