Monday, August 30, 2004A California man who once tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS has learned the diagnosis made eight years ago was mistaken and he was never infected. ...The error may have occurred because Malone arrived at the clinic in 1996 with lab results from a testing firm showing he had HIV, said Karen Pridmore, spokeswoman for the VA's Northern California Health Care System. The clinic performed its own HIV test on Malone to confirm the first set of results and it came back negative, but that information was never shared with the patient, Pridmore said. Always confirm those outside tests. And always follow-up on the test results. posted by Sydney on 8/30/2004 08:24:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
