Blood alcohol false positive
Common Questions and Answers about Blood alcohol false positive
alcohol
Actually, I just wanted to know if alcohol in my blood could have created a false negative.
I'm not doing any more testing.
The testing they do at NY Presbyterian is as follows:
Combined test (non type specific).
If any positive result, then they test specific
If still a need, they use Western Blot
They advised me that if I was positive to either HSV 1 or HSV 2, it would show up in the combined test and that there was no need for a type specific test.

here's a site that explains how you can get a false positive for barbiturates. You'll have to go through this long list though.

If it was the urine Ethyl Glucuronide or ETG test then this can test positive even several days after alcohol consumption. It can give false positive tests with exposure to hand sanitizers, after shave lotions, perfumes, medications, hygiene products, cosmetics, foods and other product. Breath alcohol test can give similar false positive result. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus can cause false positive alcohol tests.

You are not positive for HIV until they come back with the result of the western blot.
Did you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex? When was the last time?
My pather test after 5 months hsv 2 igg 0.46 .... We both positive hsv 1 any false positive?
My brother, who is an alcoholic, went to give plasma the other day. He has given plasma before, recently. They told him he cannot give anymore because he came up "false positive" for Hepatitus C!! He has never had a blood transfusion, he has never injected hisself with drugs. He is not married but he does not have casual sex. Is this something to worry about now? He will be seeing a doctor for "real" lab work Monday morning.
I don't drink but my urine tests are positive for alcohol. Im also diabetic. Im about to be kicked off a suboxone program and I feel helpless.
The reason for this is that the antibody test occasionally has false positive/false negative results. The RIBA test should be considered quite specific for HCV exposure.
If the RIBA result is positive, this is generally followed up with a “HCV RNA by PCR” test, which confirms or denies the presence of active virus. The important thing to remember is that a positive antibody test doesn’t always mean that the patient is infected with HCV RNA, the active Hepatitis C virus.
Is it possible for a false positive or alcohol in a urine test if youre diabetic? Im in a suboxone clinic and I get tested every two weeks. I was positive two consecutive times in July when I had my toe amputated and then it was fine now I tested positive again in November two consecutive times again. Back in July I had a UTI and believe I might again.
odds are this is a false positive unless your spouse is lying about other partners. unfortunately since this is your 3rd trimester, you are really limited in your options for confirming a low positive. The last trimester results in a natural hemodilution of your blood test makes accurately testing for herpes via blood tests difficult.
at this point, ask more questions about your herpes blood test. make sure it was a hsv2 igg of 1.52 and not a combined igg or igm testing.
The wait for results makes me want to throw up. Is there a way that the blood drives test were a false positive? I gave written permission for my PCP to request my test, but the wait is still too long for me to wait and wonder alone. Could they have mistaken my results with someone else's? Are blood drives (its was done by an area hospital) extremely strict and careful with their donations?
d schedule an appt for around a week from now to get a blood test done. By then you should have enough HCG for it to show positive. Like Nickie said, you can keep doing the FRER's, I'd say every other day, and see if the line gets darker. Since you said you sometimes have irregular periods, it could be you ovulated later than normal this cycle therefore becoming pregnant later, which would put you very early in the pregnancy.
fight the dragon! regarding your blood test if you ever have doubt about your results demand a retest! false positives do happen my husband being proof.. I was sure his 6 month eot test was wrong he was ready to accept it, But I pushed him to call the dr and retest and look SVR! so hang in there fight the fight and keep up on those test! and wish you all SVR!!!
after 7 months i testd for mind peace as there were no reasons to do test as i did not do any thing with HIV risk. I donated for blood, result was positive, then Western blood test showed negative. Then same day i been to private clinck then ELISA showed positive again. But western blood test showed negative again. The dector told me do not test again and do donate he said my antibodies like that. Any way, then after 5 months i did not beleive him i testd again ELISA again it was negative.
Loratab wont get rid of HCV in any amount . If it did i am sure many of us here would take the near death amount of that instead of going through months and months of treatment with the current Standard of Care. Just kidding but it wouldn't it be tempting. : ) You may have just tested positive for the Antibody but they did not follow through with a viral load test. Or they did the viral load test and it was undetectable.
There are certain everyday things you eat that can cause a false positive test for varying drugs. There's a thread on here somewhere that lists them out.
I suppose you can ask for an oral swab test. I believe they're more accurate.
However, if you are doing any other drug (occasionally), like heroin, commonly the drugs you mention are mixed in with what is supposed to be heroin. So in that case, you would be getting a positive test.
The culture came back negative but the blood test is what is confusing me. My blood test came back positive again for herpes 1 which was expected but also positive for herpes 2 with a number around 1.8 if I remember correctly. For about the past three weeks i have been in pain but had no bumps appear. My pain is like a burning pain around the vulva, and sometimes anus. There is also a throbbing or aching feeling i get in the right side of my vagina.
I have cyst on my ovaries and I had a positive test. So I scheduled an appt. and they did both urine and blood test and those came out positive. But I would suggest making an appt. so you have that extra confirmation.
