HIV Positive - Now indeterminate ?

In 2001 I was diagnosed with HIV after suffering with severer flu symptoms.  After being placed on antiretroviral, by body responded very quickly.  Prior to this diagnosis I was exposed to sewer waist.  I was helping a friend fix her shower drain.  My viral load has been undetectable ever since.  I am a gay man and considered to be in a high risk group.  My exposure prior to the diagnosis was minimal so I have had doubts ever since.   My doctor agreed to retest since the original test was not done in his office but from another health organization.  The Hiv test was reactive however the Western Blot was indeterminate.  I am retesting, but what does this mean?  I have lived with this stigma for so long and have been religious to my medication just to find out I may not have HIV to begin with.  Has this ever happened?

You might try the living with HIV community, not the HIV prevention community.
