Alopecia...??

Does anyone know if Alopecia can effect testing results?? I forgot to mention to my doctors that years ago I had an episode of stress and was diagnosed with Alopecia.  Can that give me a false negative? i've tested at 4 months negative.

Am I going to have to go back at 6 months?? Please advise, anyone that has knowledge on the subject.

thank you.

NO, alopecia will not affect your test results. You don't need a 6 month test. 3 months is conclusive.
