a NEGATIVE person can have a false positive test result.  BUT, if that positive is confirmed by a western blot...then YES...they will always be positive.

the reason why i ask is, i got tested after 14 months the result was 1.03 s/co. doctor said they come across this kind of results, because the test is so sensitive. they restest it and it come negative. he said if it's negative, it's negative.
what do you say?
