Tests can be wrong!: Repeat the test if you're worried. I don't know if you've heard the phrase "false positive" or "false negative" before. It is an important concept. Realize that test results are not perfect and they can mislead you if you overly rely upon them. In the words of the "Great Communicator" : "Trust; but verify", the only good thing that came out of his mouth in 8 years in office!
