False positive seem to be real positive

I have many questions in this forum. I have had positive test on clearview and oralquick using whole blood everytime I test but somehow the rest of test such as eia, 4 gen Elisa, HIV DNA , wb 1, wb 1/2 are negative. But my cd 4 is 414 cd4/cd8 is 1.28 and I still have symptom ongoing still. What bring me here is I have rash on both leg and thigh arms , back and chest. I don't know what happened. Am I positive?

Dear, rashes can happen anytime for many reasons, guess what one of the most common causes are?  Anxiety and stress.

Time to get yourself some help.

Thanks again Vance and nurse girl.
I want to believe with all my heart but it's hard than I thought. Never had rash in my life. Never had other symptoms either. But why it happened after tested? I have seen only a case like me in this forum but can't contact him and ask what happened to him.
Ps nurse girl I heard that rash can happen after HIV infected in some point. And I didn't mean it's ars symptom.

Even if you DID have HIV, you wouldn't be having ARS symptoms a year later.  Symtpoms are never a good indicator on one's HIV status.  Like Vance said, for some reason, you are testing pos on the rapid tests, it happens.  What's important to hang onto is that your other tests, including WB, which is the clarification test, are negative.  You do not have HIV.

I don't think you understand your "symptoms" don't have anything to do with HIV. So talk with your Dr to find out what is going on with you.

If you test positive on the quick tests then something in you is causing that, there are many things that can cause that. But you have tested out 1 year and are negative...you don't have HIV.

Talk to your Dr, rash and symptoms have nothing to do with HIV. Proven by tests.
