Brief Answer:
That alone is not sufficient to conclude about drugs at this time!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this laboratory finding and all the inconveniences this has caused you. If you have any other symptoms and positive findings from this testing, please report to me. If this was the only finding, there is no reason to take drugs at this time. We often need this alongside Nitrites to be sure that there is for real something we should be concerned about.

In all, if that was all that returned positive, there is no reason to take drugs. If there are other positive elements on the test or symptoms, report to me for further insights and recommendations.

I hop ethos helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. If there are specific issues you want me to touch on, let me know and I would address them.
