Travel to USA, recent covid infection. Acceptable proof?

Hi all, recently tested positive for covid. Triple jabbed so very mild... Climbing the walls somewhat and only on day 2 of isolation.

UK based so all testing documentation is NHS.

Anyway, we're looking at travelling to the US over the next month or two. The CDC guidance states that those with a recent covid infection need signed proof from their healthcare provider confirming infection (they do not recommend retesting within 3 months for obvious reasons).

Does anyone know if they will accept one of the many swathes of emails I have received as proof? The one entitled 'NHS COVID-19 Notification' clearly has my name/DOB on it. The issue is that it's not 'signed'.

Or is it best to run the risk and get a commercial rapid antigen test prior to travel (obviously much less sensitive than PCR)?

Cheers
