It depends on what they are testing, I guess. Normally, I think you would want your test to be negative. If you are being testing for diabetes, for example, and the test comes back negative, that means you don't have it.

Positive: affirmative, "yes",
Negative" not,no, nope, not this time
Depending on the situation, if you had a blood test done to see if you were pregnant, and the doctor says its positive...that means that you are with child. Now, whether that is a positive-meaning-happy-thing or a negative-didn't want it-crying thing is up to the person.

It depends on the test. Negative is always what you want if you are being tested for a disease. However if you have a positive pregancy test that could be good.

positive means "what they are looking for is there"... if pregnancy test is positive.. your preggers.... if negative your not. Lookin for cancer.. positive you got it :-( negative you dont :-)
In these cases positive can be bad or good (if you want to be pregnant)
