Yes, that can be true.

It can also be true that you get a false positive on a test.

Do you have the results from your tests? If you can post them, I can help interpret them. If it was an IgG test, and it was below a 3.5, it's very likely to be a false positive.

i don’t have the false positives but i have negative one
Do you remember the site you got it done on? Can you log in and find it?

The reason I ask is because it will help figure this out. If your numbers were really low, it's far more likely that it was a false positive.
