that a baby  infected  with an African sub-type of the HIV virus showed 
false-positive  on a US DNA PCR HIV test


Dear Friends:
    I am confused here. How could a baby infected with  HIV have a 
false-positive HIV test? 
    Unless the tests are so specific that they identify  different types of 
HIV?
    warmly,
