Brief Answer:
Can be false positive.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The drug test could have been positive due to vicodine and other pain killers that might have been used post surgically. There can be a false positive test also. A repeat test after a week will get you the clear results. Heroine is Morphine diacetate and not acetyl morphine.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

my problem is....that all the pharmacys and doctors are saying that acetyl morphine is nothing but heroin and there could not be any other explainstion for the acetyl morphine....my test came back positive for opiates so they did further testing and acetyl morphine popped up....so acetyl morphine can be something else? but i took another drug test 4 days after and yes it was clean as so as my others..
Brief Answer:
Repeat test confirms the results.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
If the repeat test after 4 days was clear then there is no need to worry. The test can be false positive due to vicodin.
Hope my answer is helpful.
