In my experience here I have spoken to thousands of customers. Many of them have wondered if a cheek swab is enough. Does blood give different data and would it be more accurate? Simply answered, no.
A more detailed explanation would be that DNA is DNA. So, the DNA that you have in your blood cells is the same DNA in the cheek cells used for DNA Paternity Testing. Having your blood sample would not give us any additional data that would be helpful in determining the results of your test.
So, if you are one of many people worried that cheek swabs don’t seem as viable as blood sample, please be assured that it is. And that your results would be the same whether we collected blood or cheek swabs.
Aj says
I have taken 2 swab DNA tests both came back thst Im not the father. Mother thinks thst because I smoke that it changef the results or that the baby had milk b4 the test. Pls help
KD says
Dear AJ, If you were honest with your testing (didn’t swab anyone other than yourself as the alleged father) then we would agree you are not the father. Smoking cannot change your DNA nor can liquids taken before testing. The reason Identigene advises to wait at least one hour after eating or drinking is because we want the buccal swab to only collect DNA not food or liquid. It can prohibit the DNA from adhearing to the swab. If this was the case, we would have not been able to pull DNA from the swabs and a retest would have been ordered. Since you received an answer, we were able to complete the testing and exclude you as the father.
Quanisha says
My child was born with 12 fingers I never had this issue until I found out his father was born with same problem we did a DNA test on him why did it come back saying he not the father I’m so hurt on this cause that runs in his family
Identigene says
Hi, Quanisha. If you tested at home, is there a possibility that the possible father could have swabbed someone else’s DNA and submitted it as his own? In that case, of course, the test would say he’s not the biological father even if he is. I recommend that you do a legal paternity test: In this type of test an approved third-party witness supervises all DNA collection and submission, so there’s zero chance of fraud. You can call us to set one up at 888-404-4363.
Joe says
should the newborn look like you but cell blood not like yours ?
Identigene says
Hi, Joe. Physical appearance is usually not an indicator of paternity, especially in newborns. It would have to be a really, really rare trait, and even then, it’s not a for-sure. The only way to prove a biological relationship is with a DNA test.
MJ Mamabolo says
My name is MJ. 43 years ago I met a woman that had left her boyfriend 6 months before we met. During our dating which lasted about 6 months she fell pregnant in around June/ July of that year. She was very excited and told me that she was going back to her ex as failure to fall pregnant was the main reason they fought all the time. I never saw that woman again for 5 years. On the day that we met, very briefly I must say, she indicated to me that she had taken our child to live with her mother in another province.
A year ago (43 years after my woman went back to her ex), I was called by a guy that I used to associate with who had apparently been approached by a woman as a friend, who asked him to help her look for her father whom she had never met. She mentioned the name of the father and the area where he grew up and those details matched my mine. The guy then called to advise me of this woman whom he claimed looked like me and that I must be the father. I denied that woman to being my daughter as I had never met her but when I told him when my “child” with the disappeared woman would have been born, those details matched the person he was assisting. That woman insisted on meeting me because even the name of the father she got from her mother, matched mine. Her mother, after refusing for about 40 years to disclose to her who her daughter’s biological father was, gave the information when she was very ill and a year later she passed on.
Because of the matching details between me and this woman, we agreed on a DNA test. This was done by blood test at a reputable pathology lab in our country. The results came and I was excluded as a father of the woman. My problem is that she looks like me, she was born in the month and year when my child with the disappeared woman was born, and my name is who her mother told her I was.
Would you suggest that we go for second opinion to a different DNA test center and for a mouth swab test this time? I doubt the accuracy of the results we got.
Identigene says
Hi, MJ. DNA is the same, whether it’s obtained via a blood sample or cheek swab, so that wouldn’t make any difference in the outcome of your test. If the lab is reputable, as you say, then chances are good that the results are accurate. Of course, you can always test somewhere else if it will put your heart at ease. Also something to keep in mind is that looks are never an absolute proof of a biological relationship…only DNA can tell that for sure.
jason says
Then why does WEBMD state that DNA paternity tests should be through blood tests from the vain and mouth swab tests are not recommended?
http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/dna-fingerprinting
KD says
Thank you for posting. We are not sure why the WebMD site says this incorrect statement. We will bring it to the attention of our lab director, who sits on the board of the AABB (American Association of Blood Banks), the leading accreditation body for DNA testing. A cheek swab is just as accurate as a blood sample. We will update this comment after speaking with our lab director.
lanzan says
When will this be updated with the lab directors comments?

Alice says
My brother has been told he is the father of a baby. He has done 3 check swab tests with the baby. Two were negative, one was inconclusive. He is wondering if the baby’s sample could be contaminated because she is too young to follow the protocol of rinsing her mouth, or contaminated with breastmilk. If it is difficult to get a clean cheek swab sample from a baby, would that make them a better candidate for a blood test method for determining parentage?
breanna says
Hi Alice,
One reason he probably could have received two negative results and then an inconclusive result is if the mother didn’t participate on the last test. Since each child inherits half of the DNA of both of their parents, if the mother is not included in the test, it is sometimes difficult to tell if the DNA is really coming from the alleged father or not. This may yield an inconclusive result because they can’t tell either way if he is or is not the father.
As for your question regarding the child being too young or the possibility of contamination, this will not effect the test results. No child is too young to test. Although there may be food contaminates, this only effects the ability to gather DNA. Sometimes if it is too contaminated, we aren’t able to extract enough DNA for testing. If his test was processed at IDENTIGENE, this means we were able to extract enough DNA for testing and he has no need to worry about sample contamination. Therefore, there is also no need for a blood test.
If you have any other questions we can help you with, please let us know or feel free to contact our friendly client support staff at 1-888-404-4363.
Laurel Larkin says
You didn’t answer the implied question if DNA results could be from cells of Mothers breast milk in child’s mouth after a feeding
Identigene says
Hi, Laurel. To prevent any kind of sample contamination, we always recommend that no food or drink (including breast milk) be consumed by participants for one hour prior to testing. If an additional profile is detected on a swab besides the one that would be expected to be on the swab from the baby’s cheek cells, then testing is suspended and the lab asks for new samples. So there’s no way a swab that is possibly contaminated by breast milk would yield a false result.
Ricardo says
How many different parts are compaired in a DNA paternity test that involves 2 adults male and female and one child female?
breanna says
Hi Ricardo,
We currently test 15 markers or 15 areas/locations of DNA for each participant. A paternity test compares the mother and father with the child for matches or mismatches. If you have any other questions, please let us know! Thank you.
Cindy says
So blood test is as accurate as DNA testing even though plenty of guys out there with type B blood??? My son said baby is type B just like him…so this blood test at birth of baby is accurate and my son is the father???
breanna says
Hi Cindy,
Blood type testing is not a reliable form of paternity testing. Before DNA paternity testing, blood type tests offered the best clues for answering paternity testing using methods such as ABO blood typing, Serology and HLA testing. Unfortunately, these tests only offer a 30% exclusion rate, which is definitely not a conclusive result. If you would like to read more about this method of paternity testing, you can look at the link below:

Tereza Esparza says
I took a swab test a few months ago with a man i was told was my bio father, which came out that he is not my father. But the day we went to go set an appointment one of the employers told us things we should drink and what not to drink. What I can remember she mention that consuming coffee can effect the test or make it questionable. I’m over the fact that he is not my father but I am a tad curious if that is true, that if we consume an excess of coffee can mess the test?
Identigene says
Hi Tereza,
We do recommend not consuming anything for 1 hour prior to DNA collection in order to reduce the chance of the swab becoming contaminated. Our lab does test for contamination upon receiving your samples. If our lab finds contamination, we will contact you and request a recollection in order to obtain a clean sample. Recollections are free or charge and we will send you the additional swabs. If a recollection is not necessary, or we do not contact you, your samples were not contaminated and testing will continue. I hope you find this information helpful. If you have any others questions or concerns, please feel free to contact our friendly client support at 1-888-404-GENE, Monday-Friday 9AM-8PM ET. Thank you for your comment!
Bill Polk says
It is stated in many scientific papers that epithelial DNA is damaged by H2o2. Could daily prolonged rising of one’s mouth with this strong oxidant cause a problem when the lab is counting the repeats of each one of this individual male’s Y markers? I respectfully ask that you please be very careful and accurate with your response. Thank you.
Meisha says
Thank you for your very interesting question, Bill.
I felt this was a great opportunity for our Doctors, and Lab Directors, to educate us both. This was the reassuring answer they had:
Hydrogen peroxide can, indeed, induce oxidative damage or single and double stranded breaks to DNA when present within the cell. However, this type of damage to DNA would not affect the number of repeat units within the DNA that are detected and reported in relationship or DNA profiling assays. The damage that is done is random in each cell and in order to affect the assay we use, it would have to randomly occur within a 100-400 bp fragment that is specific to the amplicon targeted by the assay. (Note that there are over 3 billion base pairs of DNA in the human genome and for a significant number of breaks created from oxidative damage at even one of the specific regions targeted by our assay would be near impossible). Secondly, since a buccal swab contains hundreds to thousands of epithelial cells, if one or two cells contained degraded DNA, these would be overwhelmed by the thousands of cells that contain perfect and unaffected DNA. Regardless of damage to the DNA, the hydrogen peroxide would not change the actual number of repeat units that are found in the epithelial cells.
Great Question!
Tavia says
My kids and I ate NYC hotdogs 5 to 10 minutes before our test could that effect a result.
Identigene says
Good afternoon Tavia,
We do suggest waiting at least one hour after eating, drinking, brushing teeth, or smoking before collecting the samples. There is a possibility that the samples could become contaminated with food, drink, blood or even from smoking, but our lab will be able to detect this during testing. We even detect if there are two different DNA samples on the same sample swab, as it will show two different DNA profiles. If samples are not contaminated our lab will be able to complete your testing and provide you with an accurate result. In the event that the samples are contaminated, we do offer a free recollection kit.
If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to contact us 888-404-4363 and we will be happy to assist you.
Sarah says
A friend of mine is the alleged father of a child he took a DNA test the mother would not participate. Would you be able to tell if he swabbed his mouth also on the same swab that he swab on the child. The test came back that he was 99.9% the father without the mothers DNA. Also the DNA results have two numbers besides all of them however six of those only had 1 number beside them.
IDENTIGENE says
Hi, Sarah! If there was any problem with the samples (possibly caused, for example, by double-swabbing two different participants on one swab), the lab can tell and would not complete the test. Instead, they would ask for a recollection of samples and then complete the test. If the mother’s DNA was not included with the other samples in the first place, the lab only asks for it if testing is inconclusive without her DNA. It sounds like that was not the case here. It is not uncommon for there to be only one allele number at some of the loci that are tested. If there is only one number, it simply means that the number was the same for both the mother and the alleged father. The report will display the two identical alleles as just one number. If the test results were 99.9%, then we would consider that alleged father to be the biological father of that child.
Raquel says
My boyfriends ex gf says my boyfriend is the father of her child he tested the child and it came back 0%….she says it’s not accurate…. how accurate is this test
IDENTIGENE says
Hi, Raquel. It’s 100% accurate based on the samples we’re given.
jeannie says
Had DNA test performed on child to determine paternity. Took blood from child but did mouth swab on dad. Does this make a difference. Also I was not tested.
IDENTIGENE says
Hi, Jeannie. If the probability of paternity was 99% or higher, your samples are not needed to confirm results. It doesn’t matter how the samples were obtained. Hope this helps!
Kaela says
My baby is less than 2 weeks old. I took him to get DNA tested. They swabbed his mouth and at another location, swabbed his assumed fathers mouth also. Both samples were sent off. I did not get my mouth swabbed. The results came back 0 or that the assumed father is not his biological father. Is there anyway this is incorrect? Does the fact that I didn’t get tested make a difference in the result? Or that they got tested at two different locations?
IDENTIGENE says
Hi, Kaela. In the overwhelming number of cases, the mother’s DNA is not needed to get reliable results. It also shouldn’t matter that the swabs were done in different locations if the possible father’s collection was supervised. If it was supervised, then you can be sure the DNA really was his. If not, then it is possible someone else’s DNA was submitted instead of his. If swabbing wasn’t supervised by an impartial third-party, the only way for you to be absolutely certain the results are correct is to have a legal test done where all parties’ collections are supervised and submitted by a collector. Hope this helps!
jane says
Hi, Identigene,
You never answered her question that she asked about her not getting tested having any effect on the results….
Admin says
Hi, Jane, and thanks for your input! I actually did answer that part of Kaela’s question…in my first sentence. For the most part, the mother’s DNA is not required for conclusive paternity results, and so not having the DNA doesn’t affect results. If her DNA were needed, the lab would have asked for it before issuing the results report.
T Halbert says
Hi, I have been rinsing my mouth with Hydrogen Peroxide for a long time to whiten my teeth (which I have since found out is not healthy). I recently found my half sister and brother (we have the same father) and my sister and I had a cheek swab DNA test done. My question is, can me rinsing my mouth with hydrogen peroxide for a lengthy period of time give us an inaccurate siblings dna test result? We do not have our fathers dna to give. I just wanted to know if the hydrogen peroxide could have damaged any of my dna inside my cheek that might yield an inaccurate result showing that her and I are siblings. Thank you in advance for your reply.
IDENTIGENE says
Hi! No, rinsing with hydrogen peroxide does not affect your DNA.
phil says
If you have a pica (eating none food item such as clay,powder etc..) would this cause problems with a mouth swab.
Admin says
Hi, Phil. As long as nothing is ingested for one hour prior to mouth-swabbing, it should be fine.
sharrise says
Hi my name is sharrise n my boyfriend cheated on me we found out this girl had a baby but we went throw court n goy a dna test the test he said came back 96% but thy took the baby bc the mother is not a fit mother for the baby n now I’m pergnat with r 1st kid should I be worried if it is his son r not n thy did a swab test
Admin says
Hi, Sharrise. What did the court’s report say? Did it give a not excluded, excluded, or inconclusive result? Usually with a 96% result, the lab will request the mother’s DNA sample to see if it will bring that 96% up closers to 100%.
sharrise says
Well idk I didn’t go to court with him but they took her baby away from her n asked the other father to her other child do he want to take the son he said no bc he’s not the father but I feel as tho my boyf is lieing bc I asked his mother what they said she said the baby have no father so they court took him rite then n there bc the mother is a prostitute n do drugs n I’m just stressing over it bc it’s to much
Admin says
I’m so sorry. Without the details of what the court said, there’s really not anything I can comment on to help you. I wish you all the best, Sharrise.
Jack says
I had a blood test did with the court Schenectady New York me my daughter and her mother we had blood drawn and it came back that I was 99.9 pacent The Father which I had not mess with I had sex with her mother Within the time she was born I had a cousin who were going with her and she my daughter look just like my cousin could the blood test be wrong. And he think he is the father but she would not take him to Court to find out if he’s the father Tell me what a DNA would be better for me and her and the baby
Identigene says
Hi, Jack. You and your cousin don’t share enough DNA for a test to show you are the father when it’s really him. You can put your mind at ease…any court would consider you the biological father with results like yours.
Rose says
Hello,
If blood and saliva are practically the same where DNA is concerned then would a swab from the supposed father and a swab from the mother be able to determine if the child is the biological father while the child is in the womb?
Rose says
Sorry, *****if the supposed father is likely the father of the child in the womb. (Not the child being the father)
Thanks
Admin says
Hi, Rose. Without any DNA data from the baby, there’s no profile with which to compare the mother’s and possible father’s DNA, so a straight paternity test such as you describe isn’t possible. We don’t do it, but there are some DNA companies that do prenatal paternity testing at as early as 7 weeks’gestation. It takes a blood sample from the mother and isolates some fetal cells from which they extract a baby’s DNA profile. They compare that profile with the possible dad’s (who collects his DNA on a cheek swab), and determine paternity that way. It’s a very expensive test and not covered by insurance ($1,000-2,000). We suggest that you wait until the baby’s born. Even a newborn can have his/her cheek swabbed, and that test is only $89.
Liz says
Hi-
My ex and my newborn took a DNA test and it said he was not the father. I don’t know how this could b possible when he was really the only guy I had been with. I was not tested and the baby drank milk right before they took her away. Would that have any effect? I am confident results would be different if tested again- I know it says these are accurate but that test had to b false since I was with no one else and I’m not Virgin Mary! Can a test b contested?
Thanks!
Admin says
Hi, Liz. Was this a legal test? Meaning, were the DNA collection and submission supervised by an impartial third party? If it was a legal paternity test, then you can be sure the results are accurate. If he swabbed himself and your daughter at home without you being present, then there’s no telling what may have happened. He could even have submitted someone else’s DNA as his own in order to get a “not the father” result. As for the baby drinking milk, that wouldn’t change her DNA (and therefore affect results), it would just possibly degrade the quality of the sample. If that had happened, the lab would have asked for new samples is all. If your ex did the testing at home, the results aren’t court-admissible, so there’s nothing to contest. If the test was a legal one, then I don’t believe you can contest it, but for that you’d need to ask an attorney.
Tatiana says
Hi, 3 weeks ago i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. At the hospital we were told that the newborn blood type is AB+.
At that time i did not pay attention or questioned what is AB+ blood type in russian version (russian version of blood typing is 1, 2, 3 and 4). Several days later i remembered about that and googled the answer. My blood type is O+(russian 1st+), mu husband’s type is B+(russian 3rd+) than how our boy’s blood type could be AB+ ?????(russian 4th+)
Where the A came from?
On saturday we are doing another blood type test for our baby boy since we believe it was a lab mistake. If the results are coming back the same AB+ then we are considering doing the DNA test.
I have read over the internet that exceptions are possible but they are very rare or almost impossible or a mutation can occur….it hurst a lot because i know for sure that my husband is the father of our baby.
Will the DNA test help us prove that my husband is the real father even if the child’s blood type might be defferent than ours?
Admin says
Hi, Tatiana, and congratulations on your new addition! If all the information you gave about blood types is correct, then something is indeed amiss. Either the hospital was mistaken about the baby’s blood type, you are mistaken about either your husband’s or your blood type, or it is possible that your husband is not the biological father of your baby. A DNA paternity test is the single most reliable test for determining paternity, because many different genetic markers are tested. Even if there was a mutation of some sort, the lab knows where that mutation is most likely to occur and would take that into account in its analysis. Hope this helps answer your questions, and I wish you and your family all the best!
Tatiana says
Thank you for your prompt reply.
One million percent that my husband is the biological father of our son. We have a 3 years old daughter as well, and her blood type is B+ same as my husband’s. I also thought that maybe there is a mistake in mine or my husband’s blood type but after checking my prenatal blood results it was confirmed that i am O+ and since our daughter is B+ no doubt that my husband is a B+ as well…tomorrow we’ll do another blood type test on our son and my husband. And if needed we’ll do the DNA test as well. I just can’t wait for this situation to clear out.
Admin says
Yes, I don’t blame you for wanting relief from the stress. With a new baby, you don’t need that! Please let me know if you have any other questions – I’m happy to answer them if I can.
Alicia says
Hi, my names Alicia, I’m 28. All my life I’ve been told 1 guy was my father, my mom was 16 in high school when having me and his family resented it and they split apart. 27 years later I finally get to meet him. He too thought I was his daughter, recalling the night I happened. We got a Walmart DNA test n it said no and another office test claim in the same thing. I look similar to him and his son, we both r allergic to cats (no other family of mine is), and we both have A blood. I read anything I could bout the possibility of a test being wrong n it said over time DNA can mutate.. Is this true? My mother swears on him being my dad or I’m a case of immaculate conception because she was dating only him for the 4mo b4 I started baking.. Any answers?
Admin says
Hi, Alicia. Analysts take possible genetic mutations into consideration when doing the analysis on testing, so that shouldn’t affect your results. Common allergies and blood types are not a sure indication of a paternal or even a biological relationship, so I wouldn’t rely on that either. If indeed she was with absolutely no one else, then there may be some chimerism at play, but that’s very, very unlikely to be the case. It is most likely that your mother is mistaken, especially since you did two tests. I know this isn’t what you wanted to hear, probably, but I hope it was helpful to you. Take care!
jer says
When there is a paternity test done for a legal matter who does the cheek swabs
Admin says
Hi, Jer. In most cases, adult participants can swab their own cheeks and also swab the cheeks of the small child being tested. The swabbing process and sample submission must be witnessed by an approved impartial third-party in order for results to be court-admissible. You’re welcome to contact us directly if you have more questions or want to set up a legal test near you.
JF says
So my son and the assumed father of my baby got a DNA test, but it came back that he wasn’t the father. how can that be if i wasn’t with anyone else, and the conception date matches the due date and the day my son was born, they also look exactly the same. could there have been a mistake?
Identigene says
Hi, JF. Were you present in the room when the alleged father and your son swabbed their cheeks? Did you watch as the swabs were placed and sealed in the envelopes? Were you present when the swabs were mailed? If not, you may want to test again and this time have a legal test done wherein collection and mailing of DNA are supervised by an impartial witness. Check out #4 in this article too: http://dnatesting.com/5-essential-tips-acing-dna-paternity-test/ Hope this helps!
JF says
yes i was in the room, they were placed in the envelop but im not sure if they were sealed, the swabs were not mailed, but i didn’t pick them up personally.
JF says
pick up the results*
Sahdev Singh says
Good Evening sir, Respected sir, mouth swabs dna test for petenity, is very or 100% accuracy & real result. But blood dna is very strong results. Pls right details send me back pls. Thanks to all
Identigene says
Hi, Sahdev. DNA obtained from cheek swabs is exactly the same as DNA from blood plasma, and extraction of DNA from swabs is very efficient. The accuracy for a test done with cheek-cell samples and blood samples is exactly the same.
MV says
we blessed with a boy 2 years back.My husband taken my son to petenity test .for first time blood samples of my husband and my son was taken, after a week the result was positive(i.e,biological father).after few months again my son was taken to petenity test but now with cheeck swab and the result was negitive( i.e,not a biological father).My doubt was b4 swab test my son ate biscute does it cause any effect,if not why the results r not same .
Identigene says
Hi, MV. If testing was done at an accredited and reliable lab, the results would be exactly the same for a cheek-cell sample as they are for the blood sample. My educated guess is that, for one of the tests, DNA from at least one different person was submitted. The only way to make absolutely sure that testing is being done on the right people is to have DNA collection witnessed by an impartial third party. This is called a “legal paternity test.” It costs a bit more because there is a fee for the DNA collector’s services, but it’s worth it for your own peace of mind. Also, results can be used in court. You’re welcome to give us a call if you’d like more information, OK? 800-681-7162
Kimberly says
I was with my X many times in the month n only with my boyfriend two times in that month. I was sure I got pregnant by my X due to the time of my due date and when I was with him. The due date put it when I was with him. But my baby came back not being his but being my boyfriend that I was with a week later. How can that be?
Identigene says
Hi, Kimberly. A DNA test doesn’t take into account due dates or when you were with which man. It only compares two sets of DNA (three if you already participated) and issues a result: whether or not the man tested is the biological father.
Mercedes C says
I got a DNA test done through the Diagnostic Center where I live the results came back negative however he was swabbed back in 2015 and we just got swabbed in 2017 would that effect the results
Identigene says
Hi, Mercedes. His DNA wouldn’t be any different now than it was in 2015. The issue here is whether or not the DNA sample is still viable. If the lab considered his sample viable enough to extract DNA, then you can most likely trust results.
Deb says
Tim insisted that my husband Bob is his father, as his mother claims from her deathbed that they lived together. My husband was born blind in his left eye and Tim was born without a left eye. They have similar nose and mouth. When the First DNA swab came back negative, i believed it was wrong and paid over $300. for a second test because i hoped that Tim was my husband’s son! I sent in my husbands nail clippings, and Tim a mouth swab. The test came back negative again. I’m not convinced the tests are accurate???
Identigene says
Hi, Deb. The fact that the father was born blind in his left eye and Tim was born without a left eye could be completely unrelated. As for having other physical characteristics that are similar, that is a subjective observation only and not proof of paternity. Science is completely objective, and methodology used for testing by an accredited lab is widely recognized as being sound. In fact, courts trust results of legal paternity tests and recognize them as proof of paternity. Seeing as you had two tests done, and it sounds as if at least one of those was a legal, witnessed test (based on he price you paid), I see no reason to believe you should continue to doubt the results.
Eileen says
My ex does not want to be ordered to pay child support. He says he is going to put someone else’s saliva into our sons mouth before swabbing so he will not show up as the father.
Identigene says
And this is exactly why you should insist on doing a legal DNA test instead of an at-home test, since all aspects of the test are witnessed and this kind of fraud isn’t possible. Results for a legal test are also the only ones accepted by the court, so if child support is on the line, they’ll ask for legal-test results.
Drew says
Hi, i very recently had my test results come back, it took longer than we were expecting and because of that the mother belives the test was false and wants one done through human services. The results came back and said i was excluded as the biological father. I just want to be sure 100 % before i get this next test done, that i am really not the father. Because she is currently threatening me with child support ect.
HomeDNA Identigene says
Hi, Drew. You can be sure that your test results are correct for the DNA samples we were provided.
