Thank you for your question:

The simple answer to your question is POSSIBLY.

The more detailed answer; If the test uses immunoassay technology (such as home tests, dipstick or other "instant" tests), you could in fact get a false positive.

HOWEVER, when the specimen is then sent for confirmation testing with GC/MS (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) or the similar LC/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry), false positives are not a problem. GC/MS and LC/MS essentially give a "chemical fingerprint" of the specimen, which eliminates the issue of false positives.

If you tested positive, you need to check if the specimen was confirmed with GC/MS.
