You need to have a confirmative test done.

I have never heard of reactive. I would retest. If it has been three months since your last unprotected encounter then you should get either a negative or a positive. That will be the answer.

Reactive is a common term used when an antibody test has detected antibodies to HIV. The only way to know if one is positive is by having a confirmative test such as a Western Blot test.
