HIV testing: I hope that your positive test are truly a false positive. But, if not you will be fine. In modern medicine these old fashioned HIV tests are not the last answer to determine if one is infected with hiv. There are HIV viral tests that are nearly impossible to miss an infection. These HIV RNA tests, while expensive, are mandatory in a situation such as yours. Please find a doctor expert in this.
