It is difficult, I believe, that the state of New York (and four other states) does not allow labs out of the state who are not regulated by the state to run tests on their citizens. University of Washington not exception in their eyes, I think. I would love to do a study of low positives from these five states who subsequently turn out to be negative by western blot. We don’t really know why some people in this low positive high negative equivocal range that are false positives have that going on. There could be some kind of cellular protein that is tripping the test artificially.
