confused about tests for Lyme. Help please?

[charles shepherd]

@charles shepherd , if I get tested using the tests you highly advise, and I test negative, what does that tell me?

If I test positive using the types of tests you are highly advising, what do those positive tests tell me?

If I was tested positive using the HPA testing, and I had an illness that fitted the clinical picture of Lyme Disease, then I would be fairly confident that I had Lyme Disease

If I tested positive with a commercial test but negative with the HPA testing I would be seriously questioning the diagnosis before embarking on antibiotic treatment

Thank you for your response, but you did not answer either of my questions. I asked what the test results would tell you, not how they would leave you feeling.

Hint: See my reply to Valentijn.
