Mate I had a positive elisa a couple of weeks back and just reeived my western blot result yesterday. It as negative. False positives do happen. Anything can cause them. Your risk is extremely low and probably zero so I am sure you will be negative.

When did this happen?

You had no risk whatsoever from what you are describing.  

Either you had another risk that you're not disclosing or the test was a false positive.  

Was it an oral rapid test or was it with blood?

You are not positive for HIV until they come back with the result of the western blot.  

Did you have unprotected vaginal or anal sex?  When was the last time?
