A 45-year-old woman's blood donation tested repeatedly reactive for HIV-1 on an enzyme immunoassay but had a negative Western blot. She has no risk factors for HIV and had a similar test result 1 year ago. The best advice is to inform her that HIV infection is unlikely given her negative Western blot and lack of risk factors.
