A member asked:

I had a 3 month hair follicle test for heroin will it show positive if the last time i used was over 5 month ago please please answer yhank u so much?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Highly unlikely: At this point, if you test positive, it would be because of recent use. If you truly have not used any opiates in 5 months, you shouldn't have to worry.
