Do you think that there is a real possibility then that I have received a false reactive?
Sure, it could be a false reactive, which happens for several reasons, including cross-antibody/antigen reactions to other current or past infections. Anyhow, it's just a reactive screening test, not a diagnosis and it just means follow-up testing is needed to rule out HIV.
