[quote=Anonymous]I have been tested twice for CF, both times as an adult (and both times with negative results). Both times I asked my doctor if it was possible for me to be so old (25 and 40, respectively) and have undiagnosed CF; the answer was a definitive yes. (I later spoke with another pulmonologist who diagnosed a woman with CF at age 60!) The first time I was tested was with a sweat test. The second time was a genetic test. So that implies to me that some people might genetically have CF but have false-negative results on the sweat test.[/quote]
