How to know if i have an hiv false positive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PCR: The gold standard is the PCR for viral load. False-positive ELISA screening tests are always confirmed with a test using a different chemical principle. If you now have the diagnosis of HIV, you'll get some more tests that will further confirm what's happening. Be brave and realize that HIV is manageable.
