I have pos. i have had one child, now 3 years old. could a home test give a false negative? i had a blood test done with him.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need clarification: What do you mean by POS? Are you referring to a positive test? If you mean HIV, for which reliability of home tests is quite variable, you should consider getting a repeat blood test for a more reliable assessment of the situation.
