Does Exposure To Marijuana Smoke Cause A False Positive Drug Test Report?

I once failed a drug screen where the test was from my hair follicle. I had not smoked pot for about 20 years at that point but I had been in the car with several smokers and did not wash my hair. Research on the internet says this is impossible, but it happened to me. I am about to take another test for my new job and again I am very worried because I live with my boyfriend who smokes pot around me and also his bodily fluids are transmitted to me. Should I be worried again? And if so, what can I do to make sure I pass?

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.
I think you should not worry because the test doesn't come positive only by passive smoking and skin to skin and intercourse absorption are insignificant.
So for sure it will be negative
