99% specificity and 98% sensitivity; you take your numbers and subtract from 100. :)

Answer:

99%specificity and 98% sensitivity.

Explanation: Specifity and Sensitivity basically tell you how correct the test is. So you take 100% and subtract the % of false positives and false negatives respectively.
