Most likely, it is Jill. This test checks for antibodies of many different types for many diseases and sometimes just to check the effectiveness of a vaccination. You are protected by a vaccination if you develop enough antibodies to fight off the real infection. In sensitive groups, some doctors run this antibody test. Given you know you had an HIV test, this certainly sounds like what it was. Good luck.

It can be. When we test for HIV we test for the antibodies not HIV.
