Last 8 months back I hospitalised for 3 days due to fever , in blood test doctor diagnosed and said HIV +ve , he suggested me for further test and done western blot test , there the result is negative. Doctor said no worries , I don't have any problem. Now I am feeling whether the first test is wrong and on second test it is proved correctly. Is there any possibility to me that the second result is wrong. Due to this issue I am not able to concentrate on my official and personal life happily. Please help me to understand correctly.

The first time should have been a screening test. They sometimes give false results. Western blot is definitely more accurate. So you donot have any reason to worry.
