False Positives, Testing Errors

I am trapped in a nightmare.  I was married a week ago.  My
wife is from out of the country.  While going through routine
blood tests for immigration purposes she came back HIV+.  
Elisa and Western Blot.  Neither of us is in a high risk
group.  We are going to get tested again at the local HIV
clinic.  It will be two weeks before we know.  I’m wondering,
what is the percentage of false positive or botched tests done
by a big blood test lab?  The test she received was done
overnight.  She and I both were tested last year and came back
negative.  If she is HIV+, we can’t figure out how.
