What Causes THC Testing Positive For THC?

I am a social worker and a mother has tested positive for THC 4 times and denies she has used. Is there any other reason she could be testing positive? Can it be transferred through sex? Are there any foods thatshe may be eating that may be causing her to test positive for THC?
