How Accurate Is Taking A DNA Paternal Test?

I am 28, 150 pounds, and have a history of irregular periods. As of now I am 21 weeks pregnant and due October 30, 2011. My situation is, I'm worried that my ex could be the father of my child and not the person that I am currently with. Me and my ex didn't have sex around the time that I think i got pregnant, even though there was some sexual contact between the two of us (he didn't ejaculate). Me and my current boyfriend did have sex quite regularly around the time that I think i got pregnant. Who is most likely to be the father?

Hi

When you think that you did not have sex with your ex during the likely days of your being pregnant and you did have frequent sex during that period with your current boy friend, then, naturally, your current boy is more likely to be his biological father. \However, if you want to take paternity test, then I will like to convey, that these tests are very precise with the results with an accuracy of 99.9999%.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
