NO THEY ARE NOT! No one is 100% reliable for testing, but Labcorp tested me neg for Bart twice and I DEFINITELY have it.

okay well i am going to demand re-test with immunosciences, which was the first tester anyway. My only other issue is that my VEGF is quite low. I also have Euro Neuro which has very similar symptoms re: burning, etc. My main symptoms now are heat heat heat in my right side. I am also sweating like crazy at night so I am thinking re-check for Babs too. The issue is I was going along okay with the Rif tx when very suddenly symptoms changed and went banannas. I am thinking bart down/lyme or babs up.

Honestly i'd save your money. Tests for confections are very unreliable so much so that most Dr's don't even use them.
Most Dr's use symptoms and herx reactions as indicators for which confections you have.
just know that if the test is negative, it doesn't mean you don't have it.

Well I just want to compare to the same test that was done originally and was positive. It was done by Immuno Science in california.
