Doubt HIV, retest: This is an unusual situation. Probably you don't have HIV; most intermittently positive test results are false. But additional testing should be done to know for sure. If you're being seen by a doctor or clinic, discuss it with them. In the meantime, don't be too worried: probably further testing will be negative, and false positive HIV tests do not indicate any other serious health problem.
