    Almost a third of paternity tests come back as not the father. To be clear, that is among people who have reason to take a paternity tests, not all fathers.

        Probably mostly true but sometimes there are legal or other reasons where tests are performed in the absence of doubt.

        Edit: also the mother could have admitted to cheating but was sleeping with more than person so there could be good reason to doubt and still have positive paternity.
