Brief Answer:
This test normally does not have false positives.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM: Please note of all the STD's or infections that you could have, this one especially is not normal flora and I suspect that you started to have symptoms that is why you were tested. In my medical opinion, this was/is a sexually transmitted between you two, and one of you strayed. I am just pointing out the facts. I hope this helps.

I went for a yearly pap smear but their was no doctors there so they just tested to see if I was pregnant so I could refill my birth control pills on January 4th of this year, they reschedule my pap for March. I was their thinking I had any Std's. which I had to reschedule the appointment anyhow cause my menstrual cycle was schedule to happen on the 4th of January.
