DID ANYONE EVER TEST POSITIVE AND WAS IN FACT NEGATIVE? I was undergoing fertility treatments when my doctor asked if i would take an hiv test. i said yes knowing there was no way i could be positive. i was never with anyone else but my husband, i never used iv drugs, i never had a blood transfusion, etc. i was definitely in a low risk group. well my results came in and my elisa test was false positive and my western blot was negative. the doctor said i shouldn't get retested because i was in a low risk group. i got tested anyway a week later through another doctor because i heard you could get it through a dentist office so i was concerned. i didn't sleep or eat that whole week before my second test. the results came in elisa positive and western blot positive. my other doctor still could not believe it so he tested my husband. my husband's test came back elisa negative. my doctor still said i should have a dna test done just to be 100% sure. i was convinced i had hiv but i said let me take the test anyway since i really knew in my heart that this could not be. i went and the results showed elisa false positive, western blot negative and dna negative. my doctor said forget about it you are negative. he said i could have had some other virus which could be throwing off my test. needless to say for months i still thought i had hiv even though the results showed i didn't. three months later i again had a test and it showed elisa negative, western blot negative and dna negative. i was shocked and confused and till this day i sometimes feel like maybe i am positive or i have an underlying condition that caused my tests to be thrown off. i am curious to know if anyone had this happen to them and if you did or know of someone who did i would appreciate if you could respond. it still a mystery to me and haunts me every day of my life. i feel like i'm wasting precious time worrying about this. please help me if you can. i was always a supporter of amfar and the names project. i know that there is a cure in the works and i feel in my heart that this terrible disease will be put behind us soon. for all of you in the last stages of aids, please pray to st. jude. he will help you. you have to have faith. there are people working on this night and day. best wishes and good health and luck to all of you.
