I don't know man. I've heard mis-diagnosis can happen, with HIV as well as other serious illness.

You figure the labs that conduct these tests can't have 100% accuracy all the time. Mixed up samples, contaminated samples, human errors.

Good buddy of mine, went to a community college for 2 years for medical stuff. Ended up doing similar lab work. He told me it happens, they call it a false-positive or some crap in the medical world.
