Not necessarily: All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and your doctor is in the best position to read the lab results as s/he knows all of your health issues. ANA is positive in a many people 50 year of age who do not have sle.

No: An ANA of only 1:40 is usually considered a negative test. In addition, your dna was also negative.
