Is this true or is this a hoax

Has anyone seen this video of a man claiming he got infected on purpose.  What do you all think?  Is this possible?

because i went to be tested and the nurse men. throw the needle in a trash can rather than disposed it in the specail conteiner, so i started wondered why he did that, and i think he maight used a used needle for drawn my blood and i could have the infection....i know thats sound crazy, but after watched that video, everything  bad is possible.

Totally ******** It doesn't even sound as if he describes something he believes happened to him - he describes it all in totally hypothetical terms.

The thing about antibodies developing after 14 days of storage (after the mixing of HIV into the uninfeceted sample) is certainly completely false. The formation of antibodies is not something that can happen in a vial of human blood. It is a very complex process that takes place in the human body, involving lymph nodes, bone marrow, thymus etc.

Finally I don't understand what would be the motivations for infecting someone this way and then going on to contaminate the vials etc. it just doesn't make any sense.

Even if it did (which it don't) why would that lead you to question your own HIV result, alexjune1971?
