False Positives do exist.

Published

So, I'm in TPAPN and tested positive for ethanol which is on the option 1. The amount was very small. I requested and Etg and Etc on the split which today my caseworker told me

was double 0 negative. Conclusive proof of sobriety. Likely cause a UTI with undiagnosed diabetes. Not happy with the first lab, there are procedures to prevent this kind of false positive.
