Abstract

A high-risk patient was informed of a positive HIV antibody/antigen test. However, follow-up samples taken 2–3 months later for HIV RNA and anti-HIV antibodies were negative. Human DNA testing confirmed that all samples were from this patient, excluding a sample mix-up. Laboratory investigations revealed a likely splash-over contamination event. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
