I think I did apologize early for doing so...As I stated I thought I was on the Dr, Forum when the new thread was submitted..Thank you for your comments..
It would help if you stay within one single thread....and not opening new thread.

Yes your test would be correct with Rheumatoid Athritis/Lupus/MCTD. Sometimes Lupus and cause a false positive but when the test is confirmed it will be negative if you have not been infected.
I have seen many rheumatologists through the years. I definitely have RA and some have thought possibly Lupus because of my high titer ANA. Most are reluctant to diagnosis when you have overlapping syndromes...Hence that is why I said could be a mixture of several diseases..However, I tested neg at 5 1/2 wks and neg at 3 mon. It has been 6 mon since exposure and I am contemplating one additional test in case I am in a subset of people who don't show properly..However have been told that 3 mon is conclusive unless on Chemo or Organ Transplant...My main sym has been oral..white tongue.
Before anyone answers this question you need to answer the following question
Do you have Lupus? have you seen a rheumatologist and did he/she test you for such autoimmune diseases?
