I don't know if this is true everywhere in the world, but here in the U.S., you actually own your own test results. You just need to ask for a copy and they are required to give it to you (or maybe for a small copying fee). Just call the doctor or clinic that ordered the tests and ask for a copy. Some labs also put the results online and give you a login account so you can access them, although they generally have to be released by the doctor who ordered them before they will post them. You just have to find out what the system is at the place you had it done. Good luck!

Hi if that is what they told  you I would believe them, can you get a copy of your bloodwork? That would definitely confirm it for me if I saw it on lab work.
If not, if I were you I would get tested.

I assumed the same thing when I had a baby and I was wrong. Not saying same will happen to you but you would need to see the blood work to show they tested and it came back negative, not just the word of someone.

Good luck
