I took a blood test to see if my child was mines several years ago. Recently, my child's mother told me that she had cheated on me during that time. My test came up 99.9, now my question is if the guy would had got tested isn't it possible that he could have the same blood type?

A blood test is not an accurate measure to find the paternity of a child. It can onlu tell the blood types that definitey can't be the child's father.

A paternity test may be carried out using a blood sample, but modern paternity testing is not based upon blood types, but rather DNA.
DNA testing is a much more accurate way to verify paternity. The genetic makeup of the child is compared with the known parent and the persons who may be a parent.
By design, these test are excluding in nature. If the test indicates that a person is not the parent, it is an essential certainty, 0% chance of being the parent.
But a "match" is based upon the comparison of multiple genetic sequences. This will always leave a small margin of doubt.
Think of it as trying to describe a suspect in a bank robbery. The more details a witness can provide, the more certain teh police can be. If a witness says the suspect is a white male between 5'8" and 5'11" then that does not identify the suspect, but is rules out a lot of people. If you keep narrowing the field of suspects by examining more traits, then any potential match becomes more certain.
In a DNA paternity test, the traits examined are genetic sequences. If a sufficient number of sequences match, then the certainty of a match increases dramatically.

its not a "blood type" dear, its more of a genetic sequencing code.
your baby is your baby. depending on the lab, anything over 95% proves you are the father.
if yours and your babys looked exactly like
xymmcdmdbcymx
and the other "father in questions" was:
mmcdmdcymxxy
You are the father. the other possible fathers DNA did not match up.

If it's 99.9 The kid is yours. It doesn't matter what blood type anybody is all that knowledge can do for you is rule out a few people, maybe.

There are numerous factors in the blood typing and the likelihood he would have your type completely is 1/1000000

This test looks way beyond blood type. Unless he is your twin, your DNA is probably not that similar.

You can have the same blood type not the same DNA.
