Have any of you every had a false positive rapid hiv test??
Question is title. Thanks
I am hoping my 'reactive' result on the unigold rapid today is a false positive. i took the oraquick rapid and it came back a "clear negative" and then i went to another clinic and had my finger pricked, and that rapid test came back negative. my counselor tries to assure me that this is a false positive, and that the oraquick and finger prick test at the other clinic is accurate. i am in mental hell right now over this. i'll let you know my test results. hopefully i'll be a false positive!
