My husband would like to know?

if they check for DNA during pre employment drug test.

Update:

He is wanting to use my urine for a drug test and would like to know if the lab could tell the difference and if DNA was routinely tested. I have never used drugs.

Update 2:

He is very worried.

Update 3:

He has been clean for 14 days. He has quit and is trying to change his life.

    Not at all. They only check for opiates and meth/coke/crack.

    But i passed 2 drug tests and i smoke everyday .

    I think they don't care in California.

    No. They cannot tell if it comes from a male or female.

    They also can't tell if you're pregnant. It would cost extra money to test the urine for hcg, why would they care if you're pregnant or not? And even if they did, it would be in the consent form. I was taking a drug test every month for 3 years of probation for marijuana possession. I have this down to a science.

    Your husband- being a guy- is lucky, they make this thing called the Whizzinator.

    This is not the brand name one, there are others, but I just gave you the first link that popped up so you can get an idea. If it's a good job it's probably worth the money. I have heard of people passing with these. I have also heard of guys taping a condom full of clean urine to the inside of their leg. If it's weed he's worried about, that "30 days" BS is just that-BS. I am a petite 22 y/o female and I can be clean in 9 days, and I was a heavy smoker before I got pregnant. Heavy meaning 3-4 blunts a day. It all depends on the person, there's many factors, weight, metabolism, diet, etc. A good thing to invest in if you're a smoker and have to pass tests is of course your own at-home drug tests. I get 30+ packs for less than $1 a piece off ebay. Keep in mind these are for marijuana only. If he is taking these and the line is showing up barely positive it will help if he drinks water RIGHT before going in. Not all week or all day or anything, just right before he goes in, as much water as he can hold down, vitamin b will give it a good color, being on the smaller side I take half, too much will give it a funky bright yellow color that's a dead giveaway. The water will help dilute it and on hightimes.com I have read that a few aspirin can help mask as well.

    As far as coke and x go 3-4 days max. Never done any other drugs.

    People are going to tell you BS, they're condescending idiots. Don't mind them. I'm telling you what's up for real.

    Good luck.

    No, they won't test for DNA but if you have to get your urine test done in a lab, it's very doubtful that he'll be able to use yours. When I did my last job's urine test, the lab made me wash my hands, empty my pockets, leave all of my bags and jacket and shoes outside of the bathroom. The water in the toilet was dyed blue so you couldn't use that water and the water in the sink was shut off when the door locked. The test bottle has a temperature sensor on the side so if the urine isn't body temperature, it's obvious. It was pretty hard-core. Sorry & good luck to your husband.

    They won't check for DNA, but in those kinds of tests, they have pretty stringent rules about the procedure for obtaining the sample. He won't be having the opportunity to cheat.

    Swirl Girl is def painting the correct picture. I know someone that did this, and they placed the urine in a bag and put it under their arm to keep the temperature up and it worked.

    Go fig.

    No, but I have a better solution. Tell him to stop doing drugs.

  • 1 decade ago

    no they dont. if he's woried about passing though he can just drink jello. pour a pack into a big glass of water and chug(at least 12 oz) and your clear. its really nasty and you have to make sure to drain the pipes once before but its a cheap easy way
