Dear No Name Everything else being equal, the odds of all three tests being False Negatives at 12 months after exposure, are less than 1 in 100,000,000. To put that into context you would be about 7 x MORE likely to win the lottery from a single lucky dip. I hope that helps. Kind regards Gary Carpenter BioSure (UK) Limited
