You would have heard by now. You're in the clear, anxietybot.

Even though it was one of the ones that gets sent to a lab? :(

They are sent to be stored somewhere. They only get lab tested to verify it wasn't a false positive if you popped. I wouldn't sweat it anon.

Good on you for your patience and resistance, mate.

Okay, I sincerely appreciate the response, and now that I know I (most likely) shouldn't be worried, I am confused by your statement.

I was drug tested by my place of work, at an urgent care center. It was for a worker's comp issue. (I should have been more specific, I did say I was "tested at work." My bad.)

It was through Alere Toxicology. I don't know what you mean by "they're sent to be stored somewhere." Aren't they sent off to be tested and the results sent back to your employer?

Thank you. :D

Depends on the test, not sure what the protocol is for workmans comp. Generally it goes like this.

You go take piss test.
Lab tech verifies temperature and looks for the lines that show up indicating if it's positive or not.
Either way piss is bagged up and sent to the lab where it gets stored until disposed of or tested if the initial test had a positive response.

Generally they don't do a lab test after this piss cup test because it's more expensive.

Gotcha. So if that's the case, by now my employer would (more than likely) know the results of the test, correct?

And considering the fact that I took multiple home drug tests (with the same 50ng/ml sensitivity that Alere uses) only two hours after the fact and passed them, I SHOULD be okay, right?

Honestly, the main reason I'm worried is because when I took the test, I asked a question about Worker's Comp and the lady that took my sample and checked the temp, etc, said something along of the lines of "if the test comes back positive" after I'd already provided my sample, which made me worried that it may have tested positive initially, because why would she say that if it tested negative initially?

Work comp is one of my favorite topics, what happened anon?
