There are people I am personally acquainted with who have been PCR positive for COVID, who are now also receiving the vaccine.

If they haven't been proven to be infected why should it matter?
What? They have been proven to be infected (PCR positive) and they are now receiving the vaccine.
PCR positive doesn't mean infected.

You'll need an high amount in PCR, i.e. low cycle threshold for the probability to be high.

Antigen tests will show if there was/is an infection.

PCR does not show infection only presence. (WHO has now put out guidance about this. They don't have to it's well known.)

If you're European this may be strange to you but I'm the U.S. we don't receive the cycle count when the RNA for the virus is detected.

Here's Fauci talking about it a little: https://youtu.be/a_Vy6fgaBPE&t=4m30s
