[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2309312, member: 219467"] Indeed although they are less important when you take into account the nature of the PCR test which amplifies fragments of RNA left over from viral infections. The test picks these up in greater and greater quantities depending on the number of times the amplification process is run. If you are found negative then its pretty unlikely that you are showing any traces of RNA from virus so the false negative is a lot less likely. It certainly can't be equal or greater to the false positive rate. [/QUOTE]
