Would thrush give HIV test false positives? Feb 17, 2000 I had gone to the doctor because I had thrush. She said I have HIV and ran a HIV test while I was sick with thrush. The results came back positive. The doctor retested two days later and they were still positive. But yet I still had thrush. Could this thrush make the test positive and yet I'm not? |

 Extremely unlikely that thrush would cause a false positive test. MH | ||||||||
