Just donated blood- results say i tested 'reactive' to t.cruz antibodies --- what do i need to do?!

See Doctor: The tests used to screen blood donors are set at high sensitivity and may be false positive. See your doctor to get a confirmatory test. If the confirmatory test is positive, you may need to consult an infectious disease specialist for treatment. I do admire you for doing your civic duty by donating blood.
