A member asked:

My test was negative for anti nuclear antibody and 40 u/ml for cyclic citrullinated peptide. does this mean i have ra?

No: The ccp is just one of multiple criteria for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis although it is highly suggestive of the diagnosis.

No: The presence of a + ccp is seen in RA but it is not diagnostic of ra. The diagnosis of RA will depend on your evaluation by your physician.
