I also have Positive Cologard result after 3 yrs ago testing Neg. Does anyone know if they give a positive result based on presence of blood with no evidence of altered DNA?

Hi @pstevens2987, A positive test means that Cologuard detected DNA and/or hemoglobin biomarkers in the stool that are associated with colorectal cancer. However, the Cologuard test does not diagnose cancer. You will need further tests to make a diagnosis of cancer. Your provider will likely suggest a colonoscopy.

Have you been booked for a colonoscopy?
