HIV testing: The 'order' of these tests is important since it could indicate a change in your status following an exposure. If the first test was negative, and then becomes positive - then I would be concerned. However, if it's positive then reports as negative, this could be what we call a 'false positive'--then you breathe a big sigh of relief. The good news is there are fantastic HIV treatments, if needed.
