I'm guessing false positive on the first test, but I'm no expert. I wonder if they have the original sample to retest with.

There is an advanced strain of HIV that was located in a man in New York, I believe, and this new strain does not respond to current treatment and can actually kill you quicker than the previous.

I'll have to locate the article..

If this is true........then they should inject him with HIV virus and then get the antibodies as his body creates them.

Reminds me of the European Scientist that claimed he has the cure. Injected him self to prove it............and died..

I thought the lab DNA matched the samples and verified he was positive the first time around.

No.

1. It is his body, his antibodies and his decision to make if he wants to undergo further testing. It isn't as simple as injection-->treatment. If he signs papers to help with a treatment, he will be a lab rat for years to come.

2. There are many strains of each type of virus.
