34 weeks pregnant got blood drawn at 32weeks. showed a positive hiv test but doctor said the one after to confirm showed negative could it be a false+?

Correct: A positive screening test with a negative confirmation test means the screening test is a false positive. The final result is based on the confirmation test, which in this case is negative.
