Yes, it is unlikely but it is possible. If the test was just a blood-type test then the result says that the man may possibly be the father but anyone with the same blood-type could be.
A DNA test result will tell you that he is the most likely father. Statistically, if it is a match, then there are maybe two other people in the world whose DNA would show a positive match.
There could have been a mistake in the testing, but again this is unlikely.
Unfortunately, or fortunately if the test said he is the dad, he probably is.

Only if they are a rare type of identical twin that actually share the identical DNA. Even if the father is an identical twin there usually is a small difference in DNA between him and his brother. I've seen this on an episode of "who's the daddy" type Montel Williams show. Both brothers came up being the child's father. The mother did sleep with both of them.
I tried locating the information I needed to prove this to you but after an hour I cannot find what I am looking for.

If the paternity test was done with DNA testing the chances of it being wrong are pretty much non-existent.

DNA is a foolproof test. the only inaccuracy is for identical twins but I have never heard that one proved positive, so until then no DNA is the final answer.

Perhaps- you should always get a second test/opinion for something important like this.

there is a .1% chance of being wrong. in very very rare cases - like 1-5000 -- they have been wrong--but sorry it's not likely. they are 99.9% accurate. you could always get a second opinion for you are setting yourself up for failure if you think it will have a different answer....sorry

They usually aren't because they use your DNA and compare it to the baby's.
