I JUST GOT A CALL FROM MY INSURANCE AGENT AND HE SAID THEE BLOOD WORK I HAD DONE TO GET LIFE INSURANCE WAS A FALSE POSITIVE AND I HAD TO RE-DO MY BLOODWORK.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES THIS MEAN? ANYONE ELSE EVER HAD THIS PROBLEM?

I CANT TELL THEM IM ON JUICE, I TOLD THEM I WAS TAKING MUSCLETECH ANOTESTON AND HYDROXYCUT. DO YOU THINK THEY KNOW WHATS UP?

Damn bro, I feel for ya.

Stick to your stories about the supplements.

If you ever tell them the truth, it will be on your record for a very long time and make it very difficult for you to get life insurance.

I had a similar experience about ten years ago. They asked questions like " have you blah blah blah in the last five years?" and I had to answer yes for fear of them not paying a claim if they found out I was lying. And they could have found out because there was documentation with my doctor the state. A recreational drug thing. :D Now I have not used recreational drugs or alcohol in over ten years so I always say no.

THEY CAN NOT PROVE THAT YOU WERE LYING ABOUT TAKING AS AFTER THE FACT UNLESS THERE IS SOMETHING IN WRITING THAT PROVES IT SOMEWHERE.

I hate insurance companies.

False Positive means the test is out of standard range but that it is not consistant with a disease state. In otherwords the test is positive but not abnormal,so it is false.

A false-positive test result is one that appears to detect what is being tested for when in fact it is not present. A false-positive test result may thus suggest that a person has the disease or condition being tested for when the person does not have that disease or condition. For example, a false-positive pregnancy test result would be one that appears to detect the substance (human chorionic gonadotropin) that would confirm pregnancy, when in reality the woman is not pregnant.

A false-negative test result is one that does not detect what is being tested for when in fact it is present.

in a woman's case of pregnancy, the false positive is rare due to the fact that there is a hormone in a woman's body that is only produced when she is pregnant.

that was off the subject, but who cares, I got another post!!!
