I think there is an excellent chance that this is a false positive – probably 90% chance.
yes, we see high index value false positives in many immigrants – I think probably people who may have lived somewhere else or whose parents did, may have picked up other infections than we have commonly here and those antibody proteins may be what is tripping the IgG with false positive.
