If you are asking if anyone on this site has ever had a negative Western Blot then the answer is yes. There are several like hubby who do not produce any bands at all. He has had at least 10 - 15 Western Blots done by 5 or more different labs over the years. Only ever had band 41 show positive once. Everything else totally negative -- nothing indeterminate at all.
But he does have one positive PCR test from years ago and 2 positive recombinant antigen tests (test is not done anymore).

Bea - tks - but I was referring to the HLA tests. I just corrected my post title to reflect that.
I always write too much on my posts.
I tried for brevity this time - and "oops".
