If your HIV test result is confirmed as 'positive' it is important to get your partner tested. Secondly, you should visit and infectious disease specialist for further guidance and treatment.
Reactive means that something in your sample has reacted with the test reagents. This does not mean that you are HIV positive. A reactive result means that there is a possibility of an HIV infection, but a retest is required for confirmation.

A false negative result in case of an HIV test means a test that is negative, despite the patient being infected with HIV..A false negative test is possible in the early stages of HIV (upto 40-45 days), when the levels of the viral antigen or antibodies are too low to be detected by most tests.
A false positive HIV test is when a patient who is not infected with HIV, has a positive test result..False positives are possible in patients who have recently received live viral vaccines for other viruses, those who are immuno-compromised, or in some autoimmune diseases.
Most laboratories will not report a single test as positive, unless the finding is confirmed on another sample using a different test method.
