abstract: Result disclosure following routine HIV testing can be challenging. We present an interesting real life scenario regarding a young heterosexual Caucasian male patient, who was diagnosed as having a positive HIV antibody result following a routine HIV screening test, his confirmatory test result was HIV negative. This article covers important lessons learnt from the case.
