Brief Answer:
Pregnancy test is positive if pregnancy is present.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The delay in periods can be due to many causes including hormonal problem. If the pregnancy test is negative then pregnancy is less likely. You can get a blood test for pregnancy done to know if you are pregnant.
Hope my answer is helpful.
