What is a false positive blood results? and what does it mean if you get tested again and the result is a false positive still??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Test results meaning: All results of tests have to be interpreted in light of the patient. I don't know what particular test u r referring to but suppose that I picked up a thermometer that was lying on a table in sunlight for a while and I told u that your temperature was 110 F. That would clearly be a falsely positive number for your true temp.
