1year post unprotected hiv exposure. 2 false + elisa 1 w/neg ifa & 1w/ westernblot &naat. autoimmune disease? room for concern? worth investigating?

HIV: Yes, this is worth further investigation. A common cause for biologically false test results may be autoimmune diseases, syphilis, and other illnesses. If you want to exclude HIV disease would suggest a pcr for HIV rna. Expensive but definitive. Good luck.
