A member asked:

Got two men tested for paternity test on my bby. i only slept with those two about two or three weeks apart. both test came back negative how is that?

Impossible...: If you only had sex with two men, then one of them is the father. Either there was a "testing error" (labs are reliable, if they got the correct specimen this is very unlikely), one of the two men didn't actually get tested, or you have forgotten about another possible father. Good luck.
