Does a negative thyroid test mean i don't have a thyroid condition?

Most probably but !: It means you are neither hypo or hyperthyroid of course it would not rule out thyroid lesions such as cysts or nodules.

Thyroid gland: The appropriate negative tests indicate your thyroid function is normal, but this may not exclude other thyroid pathology that has not yet affected the thyroid hormone function.

See answer: There are a number of tests for thyroid conditions, including blood tests, imaging, biopsies, and more based on one's symptoms and physical findings. Blood tests include TSH (most sensitive and most common screening test of thyroid function), t3, (liothyronine) t4, thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin, and antithyroid antibody test. A radioactive iodine uptake (raiu) test and a thyroid scan are also sometimes used.
