Help with my DNA OUTCOME?

Question

If a paternity test states that the tested man might be 86% his biological father, is it still possible for the other unrelated man to be the dad?

Answer 1

you didnt buy an internet paternity kit did you?

go to the courts where the testing is 99.99% accurate.

Answer 2

DNA tests are like 99.99999....%  certain. if you are unsure you should test both men at the same time.  

Answer 3

Not if the other unrelated dad was tested and has little chance of being the father.  Could a sibling be the dad?  Like, could a brother have gone in and posed as the potential father?  That might explain why the results were not as conclusive.

Answer 4

it's ONLY 86% positive...NOT 100%...so ANYTHING'S possible, he'd need to take a paternity test too.

Answer 5

You should have anyone who is a possibility as the father of your child tested. You can't be 86% someone's parent. Maybe you should try a different place to test the DNA.  

Answer 6

I guess its 14% possible......

Answer 7

I have never heard of a 86% test. They are 99.99%. I don't know what test you took but, i would re-test. You can do the two men at once and then you will get a 99.99% result that will say for sure who the father is.  

Answer 8

DNA tests only ever come back as 99.99% or 0%. They are either totally excluded or not, so I would suggest you get another DNA with a reputable company.
