There is always a chance of false +ve. So, the follow up test is required to confirm the result. You may need to take another blood sample depend on the different rules of different test center. I think another withdrawal of blood may be more reasonable or make more sense. But don't be afraid, since there is also a chance of FALSE +ve.
