Could unprotected sex with a Heavy meth user make me test positive?
I have been clean and sober for nearly 4 months now. I begged my dr to help me with a combination of medicine to help me get and STAY away from Meth. I can honestly say I haven’t touched it since the day she started me on this new regime, however I tested positive for meth in my last drug screen. I know I haven’t used and I would be honest with her and tell her if I did, but I didn’t. My off again/on again bf is still a very very heavy user and we do have unprotected sex. I’ve tried to think of any possible way I could have tested positive knowing I didn’t use. I’m so frustrated. We did have sex the night before I went in for my last appointment and it’s the only way I can explain being exposed to it. I have nothing in my house. He doesn’t smoke it around me. He does do booty bumps and unless it came through him into me, I have absolutely no idea of how I showed positive

Hi @jennpop. A heartfelt congratulations on trying to get your life back on track. It isn’t easy for anyone to make abrupt changes in their life and you’ve had a few obstacles that made that challenge even more difficult. I just read your bio and just in those few sentences I can see you’re a very brave, resilient and capable woman. So I applaud your determination and wish you continued success.
It’s disappointing to test postive for meth when you know you’ve had no intentional exposure. There is actually another discussion in the forum with other members in the forum who have tested positive without using.
Here’s the link to that discussion.
