A member asked:
What reasons would cause an hiv dna/pcr test to be "false negative". does waiting too long to test using it effect the result?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
False Negative: A false negative means that a test result said a condition was not present when it was, thus the negative result is false. Please let your doc determine what is false negative or false positive. Peace and good health.
