A friend just received the results for this antigen test and a negative is 0.2 and a positive is 0.4

The result was 0.3

What does that mean???? The flu-like symptoms, neck pain, cognitive fog, muscle pain......all gone. Feeling normal.

No other test results are in. Just gonna do Igenex.

Doctor's response was....."It's negative"......"No, it could be positive."

It is the new test which looks for the organism itself so I do not know anyone in person who has taken it.

I think I read that Scott here did and his was negative.

No elisa or western blot was done. Just doing Igenex now.

I think 0.3 is weakly positive.

Thank you. Actually, my friend's 20 year old son who during the month of June did a field/stream study.....then in July went to France and did a day of hiking in brush (deer signs).....then returned to a stream internship.......plans to leave for Costa rica and a semester in the rainforest on 8/20.

He had flu-like symptoms, weight loss, neck and leg pain, brain fog for a 10 days or so......now no symptoms.
