Hey guys. I just received a job offer down here in Georgia and it said something about a pre-employment medical examination. I am not sure if that means it will include a drug screen, but I am assuming it will since this is an office job with very little physical demand so I do not know why else they would require an examination. I am supposed to start in a week or two, but I have not been contacted about the examination yet.

As of today, I am 28 days clean. By the time I take the test, I will be 32-35 days clean. I have taken three at home drug tests (one at 14 days clean, one at 18 days clean, and one at 25 days clean) and passed the first two with extremely faint lines and the third with a significant line. I sent the samples off to the lab for confirmation, and I just received the results from the first sample which indicated that I tested positive with a concentration of 129 ng/ml which is making me doubt the validity of the at home test strip results. I have been reading this forum for a while and have seen it stated several times that these tests are 99.9% accurate and that a "line is a line is a line", but obviously one of these statements is false considering that I had a faint line on the testing strip yet the lab results indicated that my concentration was almost three times the threshold limit (experts please chime in).

Do you guys think I should go ahead and inquire about the medical examination so that I can find out exactly what it is (urine, hair, and what threshold they use) and know exactly when in order to be prepared, or should I hold off in order to buy time and in hopes that they overlook the examination completely? If I do in fact have to take a drug screen, can I call the testing facility in order to find out details about the test and after the test, can I call the testing lab and check my results (so I know when I am in the clear) without my employer knowing? What are the patient confidentiality terms when it comes to drug screens? I have been reading into dilution, however, I am concerned about the flags that this might raise. Do you guys think that dilution will be necessary at 32-35 days clean, considering that I was at 129 ng/ml at 14 days clean? Has anyone ever tried a light dilution method and if so, can you please share?

Thanks for the help. Any advice would be appreciated.
