Is it Positive or Negative?

After I got home on Monday, I was reading over the pamphlet that Dr. Chan gave me in regards to this test. Based on the information that he provide, along with this scanned image (see above), I had to assume that the test yielded a 'positive' result.

However, Dr. Chan called me again today asking if I had asked him to contact me. It turned out there when I was asking Dr. Albert Chen to contact me to discuss the test result, Dr. Albert Chen simply asked Dr. Kenneth Chan to call me. Anyway, although he explained the test result very thoroughly, I told Dr. Kenneth Chan that I was just hoping for a second opinion from Dr. Albert Chen. I told Dr. Kenneth Chan that I don't really have any further question, except that: "Does it mean my wife test came back with a 'positive' reading?"

Dr. Kenneth Chan: "No, in fact, it's a negative reading. To be considered a positive reading, the result has to be 1 in 50, or less. The reason why I'm alerting you is because at your wife's age, a 1 in 86 rating is considered unusal."

I take that as a good news because all along, I thought that the result must be 'positive.' As we all know, there is no gaurantee in life! Very rarely we can have absolute certainty on things that we deal with in life. Therefore, I've told myself to stop thinking about this 1.16% (1/86) chance. Especially when the test result was actually 'negative.'

I am beginning to wonder if there are any hidden agenda from these medical professionals when they recommend, and explain, these tests to patients.
