Probably: An acute HIV infection can manifest itself with flu like syndrome, rash and a positve p24 antigen and negative elisa( IG antibody test) it can take about 6 weeks after HIV infection for antibody to HIV to be positive but the p24 antigen ( capsid antigen) is detected very early during infection, you should be retested six weks later ; HIV test is pretty accurate but still false positive do occur.

HIV: A western blot is essential to confirm of refute HIV infection and it would also be in your best interest to see an infectious disease specialist asap whether you are positive or negative.
