having anal sex gives false positive

I have done alot of reading up on line, and having unprotected anal sex gives false positives with the hiv home test kits, oral or finger pricks... As the reason I read online is the reason as the secretion from the other person is detected as foreign object in the body. Does this give rise to swollen lymph nodes as well if this is the case? Will there still be ARS showing up....

HI Vance,

What I am saying is that, I read a list of possible problems that may give rise to false positive in the hiv antibody test. One of which being receptive anal sex will, as explain on the text, eventhough the insertive partner is hiv -ve, but because of the sperm from another person will be detected as a foreign 'invading' object in the other persons body, as such giving rise to false positive as it may activate some form of anti-body production.
