Can Sharing a Pillow Case cause a False positive hair drug test?

Hi,

My fiance had a pre-employment drug test. The urine came back clear for everything, but the hair test showed trace amounts of Oxycodone and we are trying to figure out why. He absolutly does not take drugs. I however have had several prescriptions for percocet in the past few months. I had 2 presctiptions about 8 months ago after my C-section, and Had another 2 prescriptions after having a botched wisdom tooth extraction about 4 months ago. Obviously these drugs would show in my hair. We share pillows in bed, and I also have a thyroid problem so a lot of my hair comes out. I'm wondering if this could be the result of his positive test, because we can not think of any other possibilities.

Thanks so much

    He must have taken some. Perhaps you didn't know about it. When doing a drug test, they pull a hair from the root, there is no way it could have been yours.

    Nope. He must have helped himself. Those tests are highly specific and accurate or they wouldn't be using them.
