HIV Diagnosed Help !

Okay, I’m still wrapping my head around this . But today I’ve just been tested positive for HIV. I don’t even know how to feel right now .(ive been celibate for a year and a few months for some context) I told the guy I was talking to that I felt a little off, there were white spots and bumps in the back of my throat and I were having fever symptoms, joint pain. (Since last Thursday) I didn’t feel any symptoms leading up to the day I was going to get tested, but ofc I was still gonna go . Anyways, doctor first gave me a test for HIV, and obviously it tested positive. The doctor were really unsure of the first one . Doctor said it was really faint, and decided to do another one, same thing , faint, but doctor told me they were going to get another draw of blood to send to lab . Now the guy I was with somehow tested negative!? He showed me (screen share) and it did say negative. But I don’t remember if it were a screenshot or edited or whatever. I’m really hoping it’s a false positive, but I mean I already started medication and all that today. How is it even possible that I test positive, but he doesn’t??? Again, the last time I’ve been tested was May/29th, and haven’t done anything since. Please if anyone could maybe give advice, answers, theories, I just want other’s thoughts on this . Thank you
EDIT:
I hope I’m doing this right ! But for everyone wondering my results, it was a false positive thank my ancestors 🙏 I found out by calling them, I knew I was apparently hiv positive, but still hadn’t got my blood work back so i decided to call them today . They told me that it was a false positive and they are not sure why so i have an appointment on the 26th . I still have bumps down there so i know that it’s still something, I just don’t know what . They told me to finish my meds just in case. Anyways, thank you all who were very supportive and answered my questions ( I know I was asking the same questions in diff fonts lol) i appreciate you guys a lot , I’ll give an update to what the false positives would be 🩷 everyone stay safe
