British man 'recovered from HIV'

"Doctors are planning further tests on a British man whose body has reportedly cured itself of HIV without treatment.

That's just amazing. The problem is that the article doesn't say whether or not his initial test was a false-positive. They can happen in any test, so why didn't they say if he was tested twice when diagnosed? The article does say that there have been documented cases of this happening in Africa, so who am I to be the skeptic? It would be a good day if they could use his blood to figure out how to combat Aids.
