Tested Positive then NegativeAug 25, 2006 My doctor was tryingt to identify why normal medications were not curing an infection I have. He decided to test me for STDs including HIV. All the tests came back negative except for the HIV. He said the first test was positive but when they did a western blot to confirm the first results it came out negative. My doctor told me the western blot test is the most accurate test available. Should I be concerned? |

| Response from Dr. Frascino Hello, No, if your Western Blot test was negative, you are HIV negative. I agree with your doctor: your initial screening test was a false positive. Dr. Bob | ||||||||
