If it means negative and positive, then why put the "sero" part on it? I've tried to look this up but still didn't understand. Any help? I'm trying to learn as much as I can. -------------------- "~*~My smile hides my bite~*~."

Sero = testing done with blood Blood serum is the clear yellowish fluid obtained upon separating whole blood into its solid and liquid components after it has been allowed to clot. -------------------- Peggy ~ ~ Hope is a powerful medicine. ~ ~

They put it there to show what type of test showed that you were positive or negative. -------------------- Lymednva
