If I see any line in the result window, is that a positive?

My ParenTime | Features-Ovulation Predictor Kit FAQ
Unlike home pregnancy tests where a line in the result window indicates a positive, OPKs are only positive if the test result line in the same color or darker than the reference line. Refer to the instructions in your test kit to be sure you know which window is which, and whether the line has to be as dark (Clearplan) or darker (OvuQuick).

When only the test line shows up, is it a positive result?

Frequently Asked Questions Drug Test FAQ
NO, in this instance the control line did not show up, therefore the test is invalid. For a positive test, only the control line will be visible. Check the cross-reactant guide under the heading of METHAMPHETAMINE and look for the possible cross-reactant drug. Pseudoephedrine is listed as a possible cross-reactant for Methamphetamine. Retest the person 4-5 days after they have not taken the medication.

What does a positive result mean?

deCODE diagnostics
It is important to bear in mind that common diseases, such as atrial fibrillation and stroke, occur as a result of the interplay of both environmental (including lifestyle and other health and medical conditions) and inherited risk factors. As a result, having a specific genetic risk factor for a common disease does not mean that one will necessarily develop the disease; and not having a certain risk variant does not eliminate the possibility of developing the disease.

How come I always have a faint line in the test result window? Does this indicate a problem?

My ParenTime | Features-Ovulation Predictor Kit FAQ
We always have LH in our systems, so the test can pick it up. Most of the tests don't show a full positive result until 25-40 mIU, but many will show a faint line with LH levels over 10 mIU. If your result line often has significant color, you should consider trying another brand. If you still get a significant line, you should consider having your doctor test your LH levels on the third day of your next cycle to see if your hormone levels are elevated.

There is a light test line and a dark control line, is that a positive result?

Pregnancy tests, Ovulation Predictor Kits and FertilMARQ Spe...
NO! These tests are unlike pregnancy tests. The results are only positive if the test line is equal to or darker than the control line. There are some women who will ovulate without getting a "true" positive. Some women will only have a nearly positive test. If you see a nearly positive test, it MAY be a good idea to have intercourse because ovulation will probably occur soon.

Can you get a false positive hepatitis C test result?

AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts:
It is possible to get a false positive test result. This happens when a doctor or laboratory has not performed a confirmatory antibody test before giving people their results. When a person has an antibody test, the lab usually runs two different kinds of tests. One is called an EIA test which is highly sensitive. It can sometimes overreact, so a positive result with the EIA is usually followed up with a RIBA test which is a sophisticated, highly-specific, antibody test.

Can I be pregnant and not get a positive HPT (a False Negative result)?

Early Pregnancy Tests and Ovulation Predictor Kits: FAQ
False negative results are more common than false positives - and are primarily due to inaccuracies in timing of the test or carelessness in the test procedure itself. Please follow test instructions with circumspection and precision. A false negative result can also stem from using a diluted urine sample and/or from taking a test too early in pregnancy. First morning urine contains the most concentrated presence of hCG - which makes it the ideal sample for pregnancy testing.

HIV/AIDS Program
A positive result means antibodies to HIV were found in your body. Prompt medical care may delay the onset of AIDS and prevent some life-threatening conditions.

HIV test frequently asked questions
A positive or unclear testline result should be retested to confirm the first result. A repeatedly positive test result is reason to assume the presence of antibodies against HIV. Never interpret a positive test result as absolute proof of an HIV infection or AIDS. All repeatedly positive or unclear test results should be reconfirmed by other methods, as the Western Blot laboratory test or other suitable methods. If the test result is positive, we advise you to consult a doctor.
