dna connexions confusion

Questions about DNA Connexions testing. If it comes up positive does that mean it is an active infection currently causing issues or does it mean it has been in the body at some point and may not be the cause of current issues?
And secondly., mine came up with some stuff that seems to be only tested by dna connexions- maybe not all but it said I had TBRF ( borellia miyamotoi) which I guess is somewhat common , but then also borellia recurentis which I looked up is louse born relapsing fever which the igenex website says "As the name suggests, LBRF is transmitted not by ticks but by the body louse. However, LBRF is caused by a distinct species of bacteria – Borrelia recurrentis – and is usually associated with conditions of overcrowding or social upheaval
, such as migrant crises or wars. Today, LBRF is mostly confined to sub-Saharan Africa." so thats odd. And I dont have symptoms that match either of those. And then it has the babesia divergens which I guess I may have symptoms of- and then a bartonella bacilliformis which maybe is also only found on this test?

I am trying to figure out how much cred to give this test as I still think maybe my main symptoms are not even caused by the tick inflections but I really dont know.

I think it is active infection - as the DNA of the bacteria was identified in your urine.
(As opposed to antibodies )

There are so many symptoms for each infection and lots of overlap - it’s hard to decipher what infection is causing a particular symptom.
This makes it challenging to treat sometimes.

I think this controversy is actually really interesting and important. Honestly, I think a lot of us do have PTLDS (grrrr) in the sense that active infections are not the problem anymore, and that hyper-reactivity, mitochondrial damage, demyelination, autoimmune disease, and other forms of damage and hard-to-correct imbalance are the current culprits. But I'm not going to use that term because it triggers all of us who have seen dismissive, ignorant doctors!

I think that Girlie and WBF are both right about what DNA ConneXions senses in its tests, and I would elaborate on Girlie's points to add that you might have a plethora of infections in your system - things your body may never have had symptoms of, things your immune system dealt with long ago, things that are dormant, etc. - but they are not necessarily causing symptoms now. But of course it can be hard to tell for sure, which is why most people try antimicrobial treatment!

I tested positive for Babesia divergens, too, and (I mentioned this in a different thread) I never had symptoms of it aside from an air hunger herx when I treated Babesia with rife. Never tested positive for other Babesias. No other symptoms except for low ferritin (although never anemia) which can mean plenty of other things, too.

As for transmission routes for these pathogens, I think there is a great deal that people don't know. Like if you look most places online, then you find the extremely outdated information that Lyme transmission only happens from ticks and that it takes them being attached for 24 hours to transmit the bacteria; we know this is completely untrue, and scientists have known this for many years, but the misinformation persists. So when you look up a little-known pathogen online, take whatever you find with a grain of salt.

I also tested positive for Bartonella bacilliformis. This one has an 80% fatality rate (worse than Ebola) and is only transmitted by sand flies in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia. I've never been to Peru or Bolivia, but I know that I have had this because I had its distinctive skin growths - https://www.cdc.gov/bartonella/symptoms/index.html

I have a lot of Bartonella symptoms, and have been scratched and bitten by countless cats in my life (including plenty of strays), but somehow I've never tested positive for Bartonella henselae.

I tested positive (through LabCorp) for Borrelia hermsii, which is a tick-borne relapsing fever, and I never had the known symptoms of that, either. One wonders if the symptoms when it's an acute infection are all that's known (a relapsing fever) and the symptoms when it's chronic are what I'm dealing with, you know? Like what if my system was strong enough to keep the bacteria in check when I contracted it, but over time a weakened system allowed them to cause inflammation and other issues that may look quite different from the acute infection.

Mysteries!

Could it be that the current lab tests available barely scratch the surface on the dozens or hundreds of different strains spread by vectors??? (Borreliae, Bartonellae, Babesiae, Erlichiae, Rickettsiae...)? Like maybe science isn't really all that fast enough to keep up with, or hasn't yet got a good handle on isolating all these DNA so that people could get a diagnosis and treatment for each of them? Or maybe someone or something got carried away while experimenting with virulent exotic pathogens...? Making the mix of pathogens so complicated so as to be almost untreatable. I mean look how quickly COVID-19 is running through the population, and we all know the theories on it.
