Can birth control cause false positive ana and dsdna using mia testing method? how reliable is this testing method?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: It is pretty unlikely that could be causing those tests to be positive. It does occur on occasion however but i would look for other issues. It could be false-positive.
