As my work requires occassional testing, I make a point of reading the releases before I will test.

What I look for is that any "initial indication of positive" is confirmed by a better test than the cheap screening, and at that I have access to all information including chain of custody and retained samples, in the case of any "initial indication of postive."

As you can so mess with a person's life by causing a spruious positive test, and I know so many of the techniques to do that and where the test process itself is vulnerable, I cross out anything in the release I don't like.

Never afraid to piss in the cup for testing, but I am afraid of the games that get played and the slop in the system.
