A mode of the HIV/AIDS test has been recalled from kenya after it was realised that it had errors to the tune of 150%
African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

There is no equipment out there that can test HIV with 100% accuracy. You need to watch this documentary on youtube to understand how the world has been conned. "House of Numbers - anatomy of an epidemic"

unless its the quack technicians and hospitals, no HIV test is ever done alone. There are three different tests done (including bioline) If the tests differ there are retaken and if there is still a disparity a pcr test can be done, which is conclusive but is much more expensive.
