Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m the hoped-for result of a medical test;
The south pole of a magnet (that’s moving northwest);
To be counterproductive or likewise distressed;
Or the standard reply to deny a request.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by Asher. See comments for answer.

    Negative! Hi Bill- My name is Anna and I’m with the producers of a documentary called Shakespeare High. I found your blog about Shakespeare and I wanted to see if you would be interested in helping support our film about the critical impact of arts education. Shakespeare High is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of a group of teenagers in Southern California who find a place to belong within their high-school drama program and are determined to succeed in the 90th Annual DTASC (Drama Teachers Association of Southern California) Shakespeare Competition. Theater has become their inspiration; a reason to strive and overcome adversity. We need all the support we can get on our campaign: http://www.indiegogo.com/shakespeare-high. We know that every movement starts with word of mouth (or web) and we really appreciate any help. Maybe you could post about this? Thanks! -Anna

    NEGATIVE is an affirmative. Way to go, Asher!

    Welcome, Anna! I look forward to reading more about your project. It sounds like something that would be appreciated here.
