False Positive

About 7 weeks ago i had a sexual encounter with a woman. I used a condom but half way through i went to the bathroom, just to be sure i decided to wash my genitals before continuing. Unfortunately the condom somehow fell off in the second round for about 3 - 5 minutes. I discovered it after i ejaculated and went to the batheroom again where i rinsed it again and ended the encounter. I started freeking out, being in Africa and all with the epidemic and all, and two weeks after i went to the local clinic and got tested, negative. After about 6 - 7 weeks i got tested again with the ELISA DUO test and got a false positive, positive on the first negative on the confirmatory. What are my chances of having the Virus?, im getting tested in 6 weeks.
Sincerely,
Zeres3
