I previously tested positive on babesia duncani WA1 IgG IFA 1:256 on two separate blood works in 2014. A recent blood work just came back negative. I've been on Buhner babesia protocol for 2 months. Does this mean I irradiated the babesia from my body or still a chance it was a false negative. I really don't have any typical babesia symptoms, just insomnia.

For these type of things I don't trust tests as much as I would trust eradication of symptoms. Do you think insomnia is due to one of the other infections or could it still possibly be babesia? I would still keep treating babesia to make sure you hedge your bets and give yourself the best chance of knocking it out, 2 month babesia treatment isn't too long. General strategy is to continue treating for 2 months after symptoms have resolved.

I've read that babesia resides in the RBC and you need to treat minimum 4 months - the life of the RBC

No point in stopping short of that.
You can't trust the tests

Good points, I will continue. Buhner says 60 days on cryptolesis should get rid of all forms of babesia. 3 - 4 months is a good safety net.
