Repeated False-Positive HIV Test Results in a Patient Taking HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis

Year: 2018

Type: article

Study design: Case Report

Abstract: Regular HIV testing is required to ensure the safety of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We describe and discuss a series of false-positive HIV test results from an individual receiving PrEP. The expansion of PrEP will likely result in greater numbers of false-positive test results that may pose challenges for interpretation.
