Really? That’s interesting to know. I was made to feel from the rheumatologist physician assistant that the Avise was the B- all. I also had the bead immunoassay which is the one that picked up the anti dna ds.

I had all the tests done. My ana is positive and I had a anti dna ds turn positive then negative. :)

I tested positive for ANA and anti dna ds . They did the Avise test 2 months later and I had a low positive ANA homogeneous titer but anti dna ds was negative along with all other bloodwork. They said it wasn’t lupus but probably mono. .....I was quite upset not because I wanted lupus it was just finally after 3 years of testing I thought I finally had answers and it all made sense. I have symptoms of fatigue, joint pain, numerous infections.

Thank you 😊
